You don't know the future
Sure you know the past
You are feeling lonely
The ship is always sinking fast
Next day could be your last
Your partner just has left you
Your job's a piece of shit
You have no friends on facebook
And now you're just about to quit
And that was it
Leave the past behind
Time to change your mind
Leave the past behind
It's such a bitter wine
You act like a push puppet
You feel like a machine
You're never up or down
You're always somewhere in between
Do you know what I mean?
They promised you a good life
They promised you the gold
But when you're looking backward
You see that you are bought and sold
And left in the cold
Leave the past behind
Time to change your mind
Leave the past behind and see what you will find
Leave the past behind
It's such a bitter wine
Just leave the past behind
It's such a bitter wine
Just leave the past behind
It's such a bitter wine
Just leave the past behind
It's such a bitter bitter wine
And that's the story so far
So let us close the book
Let all the good things happen
Let's take the old phone off the hook
And write a new book
Leave the past behind
Time to change your mind
Leave the past behind and see what you will find
Leave the past behind
It's such a bitter wine
Leave the past behind
It's a fucking lie
