In the past

You called me late on a Friday night,
Said you still remember when the love was right.
You asked me if I ever think of you,
If I miss the things we used to do.

You talked about the summer, the songs we played,
The promises we made and the plans we laid.
You said those days were the best we had,
But you can’t bring back what we lost back then.

I know those memories still feel alive,
But we can’t turn back the hands of time.
You had your reasons, I had mine,
We left our love somewhere behind.

You can’t live in the past,
Nothing in this world is built to last.
The days roll on, the years fly fast,
You can’t bring back what belongs to the past.
You can’t live on yesterday,
Some things are gone and they won’t stay.
You can’t live in the past,
Nothing in this world is built to last.

Verse 2

You asked if I remember your eyes,
The way we laughed, the way we cried.
You said nobody ever knew you like I did,
And maybe there’s still something left to give.

But I’ve made peace with the things we’ve done,
I’ve learned to walk beneath a different sun.
I don’t hate you, I don’t blame you now,
But I can’t be the man you remember somehow.

I know the old days meant a lot,
But some doors close and stay locked.
You can’t rebuild what time has torn,
Or bring back the love where we once belonged.

Maybe somewhere down the line,
We’ll meet again at a different time.
We’ll smile about the things we knew,
But that old life is gone for me and you.

Don’t call me just to turn back time,
Don’t ask me to revive what’s left behind.
I wish you well, I hope you find
A brand-new love and peace of mind.

You called me up, you called my name,
But we can’t go back and play that game.
I’ll always remember what we had,
But the past is gone, and that’s not so bad.

You can’t live in the past…
Nothing in this world is built to last.
