You say it was like thisnI was torn between two worldsnOne full of promisenAnd the truth I knew would hurt,nYou say I'm no angelnTrying to put the past behindnSo now I try to find.nnA place to leave on,nMemory's in my mind.nn[Chorus]nWe try, our lives awaynYeah stumble to the gravenWe cry, and still they say, nThe past won't go awaynThe story of my life.nnSee I was just thinkingnNow my life is on the runnThe street in an arrownOn the street that I've been shownnYou know it's not easynTrying to change your waysnSo now I try to find.nnA place to leave on,nMemory's in my mind.nnWe try, our lives awaynYeah stumble to the gravenWe cry, and still they say, nThe past won't go awaynThe story of my life.nnA place to leave on,nMemory's in my mind.nnWe try, our lives awaynYeah stumble to the gravenWe cry, and still they say, nThe past won't go awaynThe story of my life.nnWe try, our lives awaynYeah stumble to the gravenWe cry, and still they say, nThe past won't go awaynThe story of my life.
