Our past is always present where my future is concerned
And I'd found the doors all locked to me no matter where I turn
I can't even build new mem'ries when your mem'ry's here to stay

And I cannot face the future for our past is in my way
I can't go out with someone else and do the things we'd do
And I can't even look ahead while looking back at you
I'm torn between tomorrow and the scars of yesterday
And I cannot face the future for our past is in my way
[ steel ]
I was so much stronger yesterday when you walked by my side
But I'm weaker for you left me here and my heart within me dies
What I was speak so much louder than what I am today
And I cannot face the future for our past is in my way
