I know that tears from the past flood into tomorrow

I should know better than choosing sorrow

Funny, all those dreams of the future just seem to go

Lord I’ve tried to change it don’t you know?

There are places I no longer travel

Because old memories start to unravel

Seems like the glass is only half full

Like a cloudy day that became so dull,

When I was a young man a fool I know

Could never see the seeds of heartbreak that I’d sown

Oh my little Darling how you’ve grown

Wisdom becomes the misery you’ve been shown,

Every time I try to run away from another dark day

I just end up staying anyway

It seems those old memories are here to stay

Sometimes I get down on my knees and pray,

I know that tears from the past flood into tomorrow

I should know better than choosing sorrow

Funny, all those dreams of the future just seem to go

Lord I’ve tried to change it don’t you know?

The prospects of a partner just seem to drift further away

Happens every time the sky turns to gray

And for you my estranged one I just have to say

Be careful where you make your bed and where you lay,

It seems I’ve got those regrets on loan

Now it’s my past and I know that’s what I own

Whose that unknown caller ringing my phone?

Self-recrimination can be bad to the bone,

Heart breaking love comes in disguise

It doesn’t work out like Hollywood lullabies

The knight in shining armor often cries

Pierced by the sword of her lies,

I know that tears from the past flood into tomorrow

I should know better than choosing sorrow

Funny, all those dreams of the future just seem to go

Lord I’ve tried to change it don’t you know?
