The Past and the Present

Maybe he was wrong, but then she fooled him all along, he was the best she had "Get even right away," that was her mantra for the day, he wasn't good or bad She asked me for a dance, and "yes, I'd love to, but I can't" was what I meant to say Before the words came out, I was already at her house, I guess I'll have to stay Leave it, why don't you leave it? I can't believe it has been so long Tell me, why won't you tell me? It's just as well these days are gone He would never know, and though I would, she swears he won't, it was a small mistake You really can't blame me, but I'm fairly sure that he has something else to say He promises revenge, I should've tried to make amends, and we should end this here Well, I'd apologize, but it's too late, and I know why, this is goodbye, my dear Leave it, why don't you leave it? I can't believe it has been so long Tell me, why won't you tell me? It's just as well these days are gone Every day now she finds memories when she shuts her eyes Since it hurts her to sleep, she stays up all night long forgetting memories with me I tried to cut and run, that little girl's just so much fun, God help me if it's love It's nothing of the sort, she'll roll the bass player just for sport, let's sweep under the rug Leave it, why don't you leave it? I can't believe it has been so long Tell me, why won't you tell me? It's just as well these days are gone Leave it, why don't you leave it? I can't believe it has been so long Tell me, why won't you tell me? It's just as well these days are gone
