You say it was like this

I was torn between 2 worlds

One full of promise

And the truth I knew would hurt

You say I'm no angel

Tryin to put the past behind

So now I try to find

A place to leave all

Memories in my mind

We try our lives away

Then stumble into the grave

We cry and still they say

The past won't go away

The story of my life

See I was just thinkin

Now my life is on the road

The straight and the narrow

On the route that I've been showed

You know its not easy

To try to change your ways

So now I try to find

A place to leave all

Memories in my mind

We try our lives away

Then stumble to the grave

We cry and still they say

The past won't go away

The story of my life

A place to leave all

Memories in my mind

We try our lives away

Then stumble to the grave

We cry and still they say

The past won't go away

The story of my

Try our lives away

Then we stumble to the grave

We cry and still they say

The past won't go away

The story of my life
