I Live In the Past

The days are so lonely the nights are so long

Our home is a prison since you are gone

And I'll always wonder why our love didn't last

With no hope for tomorrow I'll live in the past

A door that won't knock a phone that don't ring

The postman goes by and he don't leave a thing

A pain in my heart and tears in my eyes

My sweetheart has gone I'm left here to cry

I'm the biggest pretender you ever could see

I pretend you still love me false love couldn't be

And then I remember and I know that it's true

For you're with another and I know I've lost you

I'll just go on dreaming sweet dreams of the past

Of when you still love me and I thought it would last

But life is so short and time moves so fast

I'll never forget you as I live in the past
