The Past Song Lyrics
The Past by NeverShoutNever And I sing songs about the past.
How I was raised and I was thrown out on my ass.
Cause I didn't care about going to school.
And I saw the look in her eyes.
My mother nearly cried when I had told her that I wanted to go,
Just to prove them wrong.
I've been smoking cigarettes since I was only fourteen.
Just to find an escape from this town that was so mean to me.
And I sing songs about my friends,
The way we grew up and all the loose ends we used to laugh.
Cause we didn't give a damn.
And I saw the look in my brother's eyes.
When I told him I was leaving,
He could help but despise me.
He's wanted out his whole life.
I've been smoking the green since I was merely sixteen.
Just to find an escape from this town that was so mean to me.
And I sing songs about the past.
I plead for relief.
This town won't receive all the things that I want, the things that I need.
And I'll beg and I'll beg.
I'm down on my knees.
Momma, oh momma, let me please leave.
I plead for relief.
This town won't receive all the things that I want, the things that I need.
And I'll beg.
All I ever wanted was love.
