Just The Past

Just The Past Empty bed where you used to lay, Cold coffee stains the break of day. Faded photos on the wall, Memories that haunt me after all. Your sweater still hangs in the chair, A ghost of warmth I can't bear. I walk these streets we used to roam, Alone, and call it “home.” And I try to tell myself it's fine, But the ghost of you is still in my mind. The echo of your laugh, the touch I miss, It's a wound that just won't heal, this bliss… It's just the past, yeah, just the past, A story written, now it's cast. It's just the past, can't make it last, Another chapter that's fading fast. Just the past… Just the past…  We were lovers, now we're just ghosts, In the halls of what we lost. Remember movies, hands held tight, Road trips under city lights. We said forever, we had plans, Now those words are just grains of sand. Your favorite song on the radio, Plays the same sad melody, you know. I change the station, but it's you I see, Haunting me in everything I do. And I try to walk away and find, Something new to ease this troubled mind. But every corner, every face, Reminds me of your warm embrace. It's just the past, yeah, just the past, A story written, now it's cast. It's just the past, can't make it last, Another chapter that's fading fast. Just the past… Just the past…  We were lovers, now we're just ghosts, In the halls of what we lost. Maybe I was wrong, maybe you were too, But this is how the story grew. I won't beg, I won't pretend, To be a fool again, my friend. It's over, let it be, Just a memory, for you and me. The love we had, the love we lost, It's a price I paid, at any cost. Just the past… Yeah, just the past… It's over now… Just the past…
