My past is present in an hour glass dress
My head is spinning and I can't get my breath 
I'm drinking doubles just one thing on my mind 
I'm glad to see her but I wish I was blind 

She makes her entrance and she looks like a dream 
My fingers tremble but I can't feel a thing 
My knees are shakin', I don't think I can stand 
I don't talk about running boys, I don't think I can 

I said it's over and I thought it was true
My discomposure makes me feel like a fool 

My past is present with some stranger in tow 
Why she looks happy boys, I don't want to know 
So much confusion makes me feel like a clown 
My past is present, and it's bringing me down 

I told my friends that I was really okay 
Then she walks in with him and blows me away

All conversation has just come to an end 
This situation's really doing me in 
Well

My past is present and it throws me a curve 
I want to tell her but I don't have the nerve 
I used to hold her in the palm of my hand 
My past is present I just don't understand 

Somebody help me just to hold back the years 
My past is present and there's gonna be tears 

I've tried to tell myself it's all a mistake 
My past is present and it's all I can take 
Well

My past is present
