Song Lyrics

We were together
Living as one
Until something happened
One day our love was gone

Always seems to be something in the past
(It's always something in the past)
Won't let us last
Please don't bring it up
Always seems to be something in the past
(It's always something in the past)
Won't let us last

We were together
Our love was very strong
Until you went and brought up something of the past
Which broke up our lovely home

Always seems to be something in the past
Won't let us last
Please don't bring it up
Always seems to be something in the past
(Something, yeah)
Won't let us last

I want you
Do you want me
I want you
Do you want me

Don't bring it up, don't bring it up
Always seems to be something in the past
Don't keep bringing up the past
Won't let us last (no, girl)
Always seems to be something in the past
I don't want to live in the past
Leave the past behind
Won't let us last

Some people win
Some people lose
Some always being misused
Some people win
Some people lose
Some always crying the blues

Always seems to be something in the past
Won't let us last
Please don't bring it up
Always seems to be something in the past
(Don't keep bringing it up)
Won't let us last
Always seems to be something in the past
(Always seems to be)
Won't let us last
Don't bring it up
Something in the past, yeah
