Past Life
Trevor Daniel Lyrics

I'm trying to be honest with my happiness
I am making an effort to be truthful about my emotions and state of mind

Don't know why I'm bad at this, uh
I am unsure why I struggle to convey my feelings

And I don't want to sit all in my sadness
I don't want to dwell in my negative emotions

I know it's a habit of mine
I have a tendency to do so regardless

Perfect, perfect timing
The timing of events is impeccable

I start but I don't know how to end
I initiate things but I tend to struggle with closing them out

Don't re, don't remind me
I don't want to be reminded of my past mistakes

I ruined it before it began, oh
I sabotaged a situation before it had a chance to develop

Last night was the last night of my past life
A pivotal moment occurred last night that marks the end of an old phase

Got me here like you can never figure me out
I am in a state that is difficult for others to decipher

I'll never let you figure me out
I am closed off and unwilling to be understood

Sitting here, talking to myself
I am having an internal dialogue

Thinking how I used to use you
Reflecting on how I once took advantage of someone else

Only thing I'm used to
My past actions are the only thing familiar to me

Gave me what I wanted when I needed it
Someone provided me with what I wanted at a time when I needed it

Honestly, I mean it
I am genuinely saying this

And if I could convince myself to feel it
If it were possible, I would try to believe in my own emotions

You know I would feel it, I would
I am certain that I would genuinely feel it if I could convince myself

Oh, whoa
Exclamation used to express surprise

Whoa, whoa, whoa
Exclamation used to signify a sudden stop or change

Where we've been, what we know
The places we've traveled and the knowledge we've gained

Will never go away
They are always a part of us
