Brandy Clark
The Past is the Past
[Verse 1]
Walked to the driveway
Opened the door to the car
Turned the key
Found your future in that pedal on the floor
Hands on the wheel
Eyes straight ahead
I won't be in that rear view or tomorrow
Or where you're going when you get there

[Pre-Chorus]
Let your wheels roll
Let your wheels roll
Let your heartbreak beat to the radio

[Chorus]
This is where the past is the past
Where the meant-to-be's ain't meant to last
Where the "maybe we can work it out" turns into "maybe we can't"
This is where the memories we made start catching dust in a picture frame
Where the hopin' turns to knowin' that there ain't no going back
This is where the past is the past

[Verse 2]
I'll be painting the bedroom
I'll be working a lot
Boxing up all the used to be's
Forgetting things 'til it's all been forgot
[Pre-Chorus]
Letting you go
Letting you go
Let my heartbreak beat to the radio

[Chorus]
This is where the past is the past
Where the meant-to-be's ain't meant to last
Where the "maybe we can work it out" turns into "maybe we can't"
This is where the memories we made start catching dust in a picture frame
Where the hopin' turns to knowin' that there ain't no going back
This is where the past is the past

[Bridge]
Only time can say what we're taking from it
We say goodbye like it helps but we know it doesn't
Yeah, we thought it was, but in the end it just wasn't

[Pre-Chorus]
Let your wheels roll
Let your wheels roll
Let your wheels roll
Let your wheels roll

[Outro]
This is where the past is the past
Where the past is the past
Let your wheels roll
Let your wheels roll
Let your wheels roll
Let your wheels roll
Let your wheels roll
Let your wheels roll
Let your wheels roll
Let your wheels roll
