the biggest lie I've ever been told is

"the past is in the past"

because mine has never stayed there

it's running ahead of me, destroying

everything before I can even get to it

and I'm constantly trying to chase it

down

because maybe if I can touch it

maybe then I can change it's mind

but it's always just fingertips away

and its laughing at me

its every door slammed in my face

and every boy who won't hold my hand

and every old "friend" who won't even

glance my way anymore

the past is here, now

its the only one who stayed

so don't you dare tell me

"the past is in the past"

when its right here spilling out

of me into the bathroom sink
