In The Past - Keith Birmingham

This may or may not be the final version. I just wrote it this morning. I usually takes a few days and come back to it to see what I may want to change. We shall see.

I could tell by the way that you turned your head
When I looked into your eyes.
I could tell by the way that you looked away
When those tears were in your eyes.
I could tell by the way that you held your hands
That you had been with another man.
And, I know your love is in the past,
And, I've lost you for all time.

There's no reason why I should hold on to
A dream that we have lost.
There's no reason why I should find someone
Or reason to point the blame.
We can argue about our innocence
But, I'm the one who will bear the cost.
And, I know deep inside I will never find
A love that will set me free.

Even now as we go our separate ways,
Even now, I cry for you.
Even now when the pain that you have cost,
Burns inside my brain.
I still long for the love lying in the dust,
Of broken, shattered dreams.
And, I know your love is in the past,
And, I've lost you for all time.
Yes, I know your love is in the past,
And, I've lost you for all time.
And, I know deep inside I will never find
A love that will set me free.
