Addicted to the Past Lyrics

Mistakes are burning in my mind

Can't let 'em slip away (Slip away)

Can't turn my head enough

To look ahead to brighter days (Brighter days)

I'm too stubborn, I can't get rid of the past (No, no)

Yeah

I've been looking in the mirror

But I ain't glancing at a better me

Nah, this broken soul is addicted to comfortable

That's why he's living through memories

That's why he's stuck in a coffin

Under the surface, avoiding the weathering

He didn't want erosion to occur

And erase all the moments from rendering

He yearns to live in the past

Cause he isn't ready for change

It's like living life in a photograph

Cause it's always gon remain the same

But you're making the past the present

And that ain't something to acclaim

Cause one day you're gonna wake up and realize

How much time that you withered away

Listen

It's okay to reminisce (Reminisce)

It's okay to miss the days (The days)

But it ain't okay, to decline the calling

When God is urging you to change (No way)

You can't get caught up in moments

That already happened, it's already paved

Stop treating life like you living on Miller

Cause time ain't a thing you can save

I know cause

Mistakes are burning in my mind

Can't let 'em slip away (Slip away)

Can't turn my head enough

To look ahead to brighter days (Brighter days)

I'm too stubborn, I can't get rid of the past (No, no)

I can't move forward cause I'm always looking back, yeah

Mistakes are burning in my mind

Can't let 'em slip away (Slip away)

Can't turn my head enough

To look ahead to brighter days (Brighter days)

I can't make the trades and focus on the draft

I'm a stranger to change

Cause I'm addicted to the past, yeah

I was never alone

Back in the day, I had conversations on my phone

Now it's serves as a reminder, I'm trapped in the silence

I'm left without someone to hold

I had to master abilities, like some humility

I lost the light in my soul

That's why I stare in the past, cause now I'm just pieces

Back then I was actually whole

But God has a plan for me

And maybe it ain't what I prepped for

Maybe I lacked in awareness

In order to not stay in stride to the next door

Maybe my selective ears, muffled what I heard

So I couldn't step forward

Maybe my vision was skewed

So I couldn't read what I wrote on the blackboard

It's okay to reminisce (Reminisce)

It's okay to miss the days (The days)

But it ain't okay, to decline the calling

When God is urging you to change (No way)

You can't get caught up in moments

That already happened, it's already paved

Stop treating life like you living on Miller

Cause time ain't a thing you can save

I know cause

Mistakes are burning in my mind

Can't let 'em slip away (Slip away)

Can't turn my head enough

To look ahead to brighter days (Brighter days)

I'm too stubborn, I can't get rid of the past (No, no)

I can't move forward cause I'm always looking back, yeah

Mistakes are burning in my mind

Can't let 'em slip away (Slip away)

Can't turn my head enough

To look ahead to brighter days (Brighter days)

I can't make the trades and focus on the draft

I'm a stranger to change

Cause I'm addicted to the past, yeah
