Our past is always present where my future is concerned   And I'd found the doors all locked to me no matter where I turn   I can't even build new mem'ries when your mem'ry's here to stay   And I cannot face the future for our past is in my way   I can't go out with someone else and do the things we'd do   And I can't even look ahead while looking back at you   I'm torn between tomorrow and the scars of yesterday   And I cannot face the future for our past is in my way   [ steel ]   I was so much stronger yesterday when you walked by my side   But I'm weaker for you left me here and my heart within me dies   What I was speak so much louder than what I am today   And I cannot face the future for our past is in my way
