You see it was like this
I was torn between two worlds
One full of promise
And the truth I knew would hurt
You say I'm no angel
Tryna put the past behind
So now I try to find
A place to leave all
The memories in my mind

We try, our lives away
Yet stumble to the grave
We cry, and still they say
Your past won't go away
The story of my life

See I was just thinkin
Now my life is on the road
The straight and the narrow
On the route that I've been shown
You know its not easy
To try to change your ways
So now I try to find
A place to leave all
The memories in my mind

We try, our lives away
Yet stumble to the grave
We cry, and still they say
The past won't go away
The story of my life

A place to leave all
The memories in my mind
We try, our lives away
Yet stumble to the grave
We cry, and still they say
Your past won't go away
The story of my
Try, our lives away
Yet stumble to the grave
We cry, and still they stay
Your past won't go away
The story of my life
