That Was Then

You're the only reason I wish I forgot How you wanted me to be something I am not But that was then and this is now What could have been is over now It's over now! Time to exploit all my strongest attributes I'm just as bad as any other prostitute With no shame My skin got thicker through the years I paid all my dues with blood, sweat and tears Yeah I'm still here I'm not about to disappear One thing's for certain One thing's clear Life goes on Yeah, yesterday's gone So learn from the past 'cause that was That was then and this is now What could have been is over now So thank you for the inspiration For reminding me of who I was If it's any consolation I can see through all your shit because I've been there done that Raised enough hell to put the other prostitutes to shame But yesterday's gone and I'm moving on Don't come at me tryin' to place the blame That was then and this is now What could have been is over now Spare me the heartache Spare me the pain I'm not the one who should take all the blame Spare me the guilt trip over the past You are the reason I'm never looking back Spare me the heartache It's already black You are the reason I'm never looking back That was then but this is now What could have been is over now That was then and this is now What could have been is over now Spare me the heartache Spare me the pain I'm not the one who should take all the blame Spare me the guilt trip over the past You are the reason I'm never looking back You are the reason I'm never looking back
