"The Past Is The Past" lyrics

"The Past Is The Past"

Walked to the driveway, opened the door to the car
Turned the key, found your future in that pedal on the floor
Hands on the wheel, eyes straight ahead
I won't be in that rear view, oh tomorrow where you're going when you get there

Let your wheels roll
Let your wheels roll
Let your heartbreak beat to the radio

This is where the past is the past
Where the meant-to-be's ain't meant to last
Where the "maybe we could work it out" turns into "maybe we can't"
This is where the memories we missed are catching dust in a picture frame
Where the hopin' turns to knowin' that there ain't no going back
This is where the past is the past

I'll be painting the bedroom
I'll be working a lot
Boxing up all the used to be's
Forgetting things 'til it's all been forgot

Letting you go
Letting you go
Let my heartbreak beat to the radio

This is where the past is the past
Where the meant-to-be's ain't meant to last
Where the "maybe we could work it out" turns into "maybe we can't"
This is where the memories we missed are catching dust in a picture frame
Where the hopin' turns to knowin' that there ain''t no going back
This is where the past is the past

Only time can say what were taking from it
We say goodbye like it helps but we know it doesn't
Yeah, we thought it was but in the end it just wasn't

Let your wheels roll
Let your wheels roll
Let your wheels roll
Let your wheels roll

This is where the past is the past
Where the past is the past
Let your wheels roll
Let your wheels roll
Let your wheels roll
Let your wheels roll
Let your wheels roll
Let your wheels roll
Let your wheels roll
Let your wheels roll
