Leave the Past Behind

You’re as beautiful as angels—it’s apparent in your voice and your smile. You’re a blessing to those you’re around. ‘cause you faith like a child. I’m trying to move on; I’ve got my whole life packed away. I’ve been living out of my suitcase ‘til I can find somewhere I’m welcome to stay.

‘cause I’m trying to leave the past behind.

Absence does strange things to a heart that’s alone—allowing it to see what it missed when it was so close. But you won’t allow your heart to be given to my uncertainty. So wisdom’s your fortress from allowing my re-entry.

Little by little bye little by little bye little by little bye little by little, little goodbye.

I don’t know what really happened, but maybe it’s too late to find out. I wish the best for your life even if I have to go without. But I regret I didn’t fight for this—I just became too tired. I know quitting was a selfish thing to do but you didn’t seem to mind at the time.
