If only you would look at me the way you used to
Trust me the way that you used to
Love me the way that you used to
We would be OK, maybe
If only you were still the man I once knew
Not the man by whom I'd been lied to
Not the reason that I feel so used
We could be OK, maybe
If only we could make the past just go away
We could start it over from today
Learn to live it out without the pain
We could be OK, maybe
But the past don't go away easy
(The past don't go away easy)
The past don't go away easy
I don't know how to
(I don't know how to)
If only you could forget about the old me
Forget about the man that I used to be
Just start lovin' me for me
We would be OK, maybe
If only I could forget about the old you
Forget about the things that you used to do
Let myself believe that you're really you
We could be OK, maybe
If only we could make the past just go away
We could start it over from today
Learn to live it out without the pain
We could be OK, maybe
But the past don't go away easy
(The past don't go away easy)
The past don't go away easy
I don't know how to
(I don't know how to)
