Jean Shepard - Our Past Is In My Way Lyrics

Our past is always present where my future is concerned

And I'd found the doors all locked to me no matter where I turn

I can't even build new mem'ries when your mem'ry's here to stay

And I cannot face the future for our past is in my way

I can't go out with someone else and do the things we'd do

And I can't even look ahead while looking back at you

I'm torn between tomorrow and the scars of yesterday

And I cannot face the future for our past is in my way

[ steel ]

I was so much stronger yesterday when you walked by my side

But I'm weaker for you left me here and my heart within me dies

What I was speak so much louder than what I am today

And I cannot face the future for our past is in my way
