You say it was like this

I was torn between two worlds

One full of promise

And the truth I knew would hurt

You say I'm no angel

Trying to put the past behind

So now I try to find

A place to leave on

Memory's in my mind

We try, our lives away

Yeah stumble to the grave

We cry, and still they say

Past won't go away

Story of my life

See I was just thinking

Now my life is on the run

The street in an arrow

On the route that I've been shown

You know it's not easy

Trying to change your ways

So now I try to find

A place to leave on

Memory's in my mind

We try, our lives away

Yeah stumble to the grave

We cry, and still they say

Past won't go away

Story of my life

A place to leave on

Memory's in my mind

We try, our lives away

Yeah stumble to the grave

We cry, and still they say

Past won't go away

Story of my...

Try, our lives away

Yeah stumble to the grave

We cry, and still they say

Past won't go away

Story of my life
