I lie here tonight in the darkness I've never felt so alone tomorrow I'll wake up still lonesome 'Cause things haven't changed since you've gone You walked out with angry words spoken You're leavin' cut right to the bone I'll pick up the pieces you have broken Find the strength to go on I still remember How my love once held her How long do old memories last Why can't I forget it Why can't I admit it There ain't no future in the past I still remember How my love once held her How long do old memories last Why can't I forget it Why can't I admit it There ain't no future in the past
