Lyrics
There you go bringing back
Expressing disapproval or frustration about someone revisiting the past.
Those old memories
Referring to recollections from the past that are resurfacing.
Things done in the past
Highlighting actions or events that occurred in history.
Why don't you let it be
Suggesting a desire for the person to stop dwelling on the past.
Could it be I misunderstood you
Expressing uncertainty or questioning understanding of the situation.
But I thought that we had made a pact
Recalling a mutual agreement or commitment made in the past.
To let by-gones e by-gones
Advocating forgiveness and moving beyond past issues.
(Why don't you let it be)
Reiteration of the plea to let go of the past.
Move on forward and never look back
Encouraging progress and avoiding retrospection.
Now by no means am I perfect
Acknowledging personal imperfections while addressing someone's negative demeanor.
But I sure don't like your attitude
Expressing discontent with the person's negative attitude.
Always reaching back in the past
Pointing out a tendency to focus on the past and resist compliance.
When I won't do what you want me to
Rejecting pressure to conform to someone else's expectations from the past.
Oh there you go
Reiterating the disapproval of revisiting old memories.
There you go bringing back
Repeating the frustration or displeasure with memories from the past.
Those old memories
Restating the resurgence of old memories and the need to move forward.
Things done in the past
Highlighting actions or events that occurred in history.
Why don't you let it be
Repeating the desire for the person to stop dwelling on the past.
There you go bringing back
Reiterating the frustration or displeasure with memories from the past.
Those old memories
Restating the resurgence of old memories and the need to move forward.
Things done in the past
Highlighting actions or events that occurred in history.
Why don't you let it be
Repeating the desire for the person to stop dwelling on the past.
If you cared like I care
Expressing a conditional willingness to resolve issues if the other party cares as well.
We could work this out
Suggesting a potential solution through mutual effort.
But it seems that you don't
Implying a lack of reciprocated care or effort from the other person.
And yesterday is all you talk about
Emphasizing the excessive focus on the past in the conversation.
Man I live for today and for tomorrow
Expressing a present and future-oriented perspective on life.
And when you talk about yesterday
Indicating that discussions about the past bring emotional pain or discomfort.
All you bring me sorrow
Conveying negative emotions associated with past discussions.
Been there, done that, and
Asserting a refusal to relive past experiences.
I ain't tryin' to go again
Expressing a reluctance to revisit and repeat past mistakes.
So if you're tryin' to take me there
Warning against attempts to drag the speaker into the past.
Let me tell you my friend
Declaring a firm stance against reliving old memories.
I don't want to be a prisoner to an old memory
Expressing a desire for freedom from the burden of past memories.
There you go bringing back
Reiterating the frustration or displeasure with memories from the past.
Those old memories
Restating the resurgence of old memories and the need to move forward.
Things done in the past
Highlighting actions or events that occurred in history.
Why don't you let it be
Repeating the desire for the person to stop dwelling on the past.
