Laurika Rauch - You Don't Forget lyrics

You don't forget the past You don't forget at all You don't forget, forget the past You live with it, That's all! You don't forget all those good byes – The crazy quest for bluer skies – The crazy chase from place to place, From hand to hand, from face to face. You don't forget the sleazy bars – The smell of wine and cheap cigars – The awful hangovers you've had As daylight dawned, so grey and sad. No there is no way to forget No nothing helps you to forget Within your memories you're bound As surely as the world is round! You don't forget the past You don't forget at all You don't forget, forget the past You live with it, That's all! You don't forget the games you played – The words you spoke, the vows you made Each time you swore you'd never part – From broken heart to broken heart. You don't forget the one-night stands, The hungry eyes the hungry hands Of nameless strangers nameless men – Who promised you you'd meet again No there is no way to forget No nothing helps you to forget Within your memories you're bound As surely as the world is round! You don't forget the past You don't forget at all You don't forget, forget the past You live with it, That's all! You don't forget the unpaid debts, The endless list of your regrets, The endless reasons for your tears Among your heaps of souvenirs. You don't forget the stately bed Where you will lie when you are dead And sometimes all you do is crave – The peace and quiet of the grave! No there is no way to forget No nothing helps you to forget That you'll be six feet underground As surely as the world is round! You can't escape your fate You can't escape at all You can't escape escape your fate You live with it — that's all!
