The Past and the Present - Locksley

Maybe he was wrong, but then she fooled him all along, he was the best she had

«Get even right away,"that was her mantra for the day, he wasn’t good or bad

She asked me for a dance, and «yes, I’d love to, but I can’t"was what I meant

to say

Before the words came out, I was already at her house, I guess I’ll have to stay

Leave it, why don’t you leave it?

I can’t believe it has been so long

Tell me, why won’t you tell me?

It’s just as well these days are gone

He would never know, and though I would, she swears he won’t, it was a small

mistake

You really can’t blame me, but I’m fairly sure that he has something else to say

He promises revenge, I should’ve tried to make amends, and we should end this

here

Well, I’d apologize, but it’s too late, and I know why, this is goodbye, my dear

Leave it, why don’t you leave it?

I can’t believe it has been so long

Tell me, why won’t you tell me?

It’s just as well these days are gone

Every day now she finds memories when she shuts her eyes

Since it hurts her to sleep, she stays up all night long forgetting memories

with me I tried to cut and run, that little girl’s just so much fun, God help me if it’s love

It’s nothing of the sort, she’ll roll the bass player just for sport,

let’s sweep under the rug

Leave it, why don’t you leave it?

I can’t believe it has been so long

Tell me, why won’t you tell me?

It’s just as well these days are gone

Leave it, why don’t you leave it?

I can’t believe it has been so long

Tell me, why won’t you tell me?

It’s just as well these days are gone
