[Verse 1]
We were building something pure and true,
Every laugh, every touch, felt brand new.
But I feel the weight of what you hide,
The ghosts of your past creeping inside.
Every word you said, every choice you made,
It’s like the shadows of yesterday never fade.
I tried to love the present, forget the pain,
But your history keeps pulling me back again.

[Pre-Chorus]
I can’t stand watching us fall apart,
When the chains you carry are breaking my heart.
If we’re gonna last, it’s gotta be us,
Not the echoes of the past you trust.

[Chorus]
Why did you drag your past into us?
We had a love I thought we could trust.
Every fear, every hurt, every lie,
It’s poisoning the moments you and I.
I can’t fight battles that aren’t mine,
Can’t love someone shadowed by time.
Why did you drag your past into us?
We could’ve had forever, if only we’d trust.

[Verse 2]
I see the pain in your guarded eyes,
But I’m drowning here in the compromise.
You’re holding grudges you can’t let go,
And it’s burning the love we used to know.
I’ve tried to hold you, tried to mend,
But I can’t rewrite what you defend.
The past is heavy, but we need to breathe,
Or there’s nothing left that we can achieve.

[Pre-Chorus]
I want to move forward, I want to believe,
That love can live if we just conceive.
But you keep pulling me down, it’s clear,
Your past is loud, I can’t hear us here.

[Chorus]
Why did you drag your past into us?
We had a love I thought we could trust.
Every fear, every hurt, every lie,
It’s poisoning the moments you and I.
I can’t fight battles that aren’t mine,
Can’t love someone shadowed by time.
Why did you drag your past into us?
We could’ve had forever, if only we’d trust.

[Bridge]
I’m not asking for perfection, just your heart,
But I can’t keep living with these ghosts in our arms.
If you want love, you’ve gotta let it be,
Not trapped in yesterday haunting me.
I’ll fight for us, but only if you try,
To leave the past where it lies.

[Breakdown]
We were meant to be something pure,
But the past keeps closing every door.
I love you, but I can’t survive,
When yesterday takes over our life.

[Final Chorus]
Why did you drag your past into us?
We had a love I thought we could trust.
Every fear, every hurt, every lie,
It’s poisoning the moments you and I.
If we want forever, we must release,
All the ghosts, all the pain, all the grief.
Why did you drag your past into us?
We could’ve had forever, if only we’d trust.

[Outro]
I wanted forever, I wanted you…
But love can’t grow where the past controls too.
Why did you drag your past into us?
Why couldn’t we just trust?
