Straylight Run - I'm Through With The Past (But The Past Isn't Through With Me) lyrics

rate me

<BR>

In those days, I was a train wreck.<br>

I was lost in a sea of alcohol, irony, and unbridled self pity.<br>

There were so many words I had to write,<br>

Confessions on my mind.<br>

I designed them and delivered them with reckless abandon.<br>

<br>

My tightly coiled, regressed, frustrated past fading fast.<br>

I was constantly exploding,<br>

I was constantly screaming.<br>

The days moved slow and the nights dissolved into a thickening haze.<br>

Where I spoke with a tongue that wasn't mine to faces I couldn't recognize.<br>

<br>

There's so much I forget.<br>

There's so much more I'd like to.<br>

<br>

I'm through with the past, but the past isn't through with me.<br>

I'm through with the past, but the past isn't through with me.<br>

<br>

That's who I was when we first met in cathartic song.<br>

When I became the patron saint of the depressed and neglected.<br>

I left those days, those places and that person all on tape.<br>

Absolved, I resolved to start again and never look back.<br>

<br>

You want me where I was.<br>

And you still remind me.<br>

<br>

I'm through with the past, but the past isn't through with me.<br>

I'm through with the past, but the past isn't through with me.<br>

<br>

Ohhh, Ohhh.<br>

Ohhh, Ohhh.<br>

Ohhh, Ohhh.<br>

Ohhh, Ohhh.<br>

Ohhh, Ohhh.<br>

<br>

I'm through with the past, but the past isn't through with me.<br>

I'm through with the past, but the past isn't through with me.<br>

I'm through with the past, but the past isn't through with me.<br>

I'm through with the past, but the past isn't through with me.<br>
