Linger in the Past (Lyrics)

Well I can't turn back the clock. Though now I wish I could. Well it hurts to see what I once had. And things I've never known. No turning back from my future And no running from my fate. I now see what has been lost. And now it's just too late. And I, I threw it all away. Had it right there in my hands. It hurts me when I reminisce. But I do it more and more. Thoughts of the past just linger on. More lucid than before. The present day, just so passé, Like a monkey on my back. Motion stops and progress halts. When I linger in the past.
