The Past Is Not a Good Idea

There's something 'bout this city It's got me in it's hold When everything's too pretty I just feel used and old You say; "There is something special About the days to come" And one day you will get there But I live in denial As time is marching on Please let's go to the river and... Let yourself back in My arms are still open Make me feel again This heart is still broken But you say; "The past is not a good idea" That the past is not a good idea There was something in the silence Something in the air Now I am stuck here with me While your life goes on elsewhere I say; There was something special About the days gone by But now I'm left alone here So I turn to denial Then you're still by my side But now there's nothing left but oh... Please let yourself back in My arms are still open Just make it beat again My heart is still broken And I know; The past is not a good idea Lord knows the past is not a good idea
