from the corner of your eye
looking in the rear view mirror
whilst right by your side
something that couldn't be clearer

the present, near and happy
but you can't help but look back
thinking of what use to be
of what the present lacks

why can't you just settle
for what you have now?
why must you meddle?
should the past be disavowed?

there was a reason
for why you moved on
there was a lesson
to why the past is gone

move on, live on
for the now and next
what's gone is gone
the past is set

it can't do you good
but you can do it harm
what you should
is let it loose from your arms
