The days they go on   And the roads are so long   Your a slave to your past   Just a slave to your past      Your love life is gone   And the woman you so loved    Is a slave to your past   She's just a slave to your past      And the roads that you saw   Wont take you back home   And they wont take you to your past   No, not to your past      Well you looked her in the eyes   And you told her it's alright   And that you'd never let her go   But you let her go      Well she ran far away   Left you confused and dazed   So why'd you let her go?   And now your all alone      Well now there's tears in your eyes   You had to leave that life behind   And now it's in your past   So just leave it in the past      So you're left here all alone   And you're still without a home   Cause you're a slave to your past   You should have left it in your past
