here's to the past

here's to the past

let's all think back on what brought us here

this is my grasp on what is real

don't tell me how i feel

with all that's passed i can't relate

with myself from day to day

why does everything seem so far away

to me

there's no turning back from here

i've got to get away from everyone who's left

everyone who's left

i'll tell the saddest story

of how we made it through this past year

i'll tell the saddest story

of how we made it through this past year

they said we'd walk away

you'll never make it if you can't speak for yourself

they said we'd fade away

we've all been down this path before

you're trapped in this town

and it wears you down

when we leave today then maybe you'll understand

this constant struggle isn't always in the palm of my hand

there's no turning back from here

i've got to get away from everyone who's left

everyone who's left

i'll tell the saddest story

of how we made it through this past year

i'll tell the saddest story

of how we made it through this past year

they said we'd walk away

you'll never make it if you can't speak for yourself

they said we'd fade away

this man will stand the test of time

this man will stand the test of time

this man will stand the test of time

this man will stand the test of time

i'll tell the saddest story

of how we made it through this past year

i'll tell the saddest story

of how we made it through this past year

they said we'd walk away

you'll never make it if you can't speak for yourself

they said we'd fade away
