That Was Then Lyrics by Hold Me Hostage

Metaphors For Captivity

2018

You’re the only reason I wish I forgot
How you wanted me to be something I am not
But that was then and this is now
What could have been is over now
It’s over now!
Time to exploit all my strongest attributes
I’m just as bad as any other prostitute
With no shame
My skin got thicker through the years
I paid all my dues with blood, sweat and tears
Yeah I’m still here
I’m not about to disappear
One thing’s for certain
One thing’s clear
Life goes on
Yeah, yesterday’s gone
So learn from the past ‘cause that was
That was then and this is now
What could havе been is over now
So thank you for the inspiration
For reminding mе of who I was
If it’s any consolation
I can see through all your shit because
I’ve been there done that
Raised enough hell to put the other prostitutes to shame
But yesterday’s gone and I’m moving on
Don’t come at me tryin’ to place the blame
That was then and this is now
What could have been is over now
Spare me the heartache
Spare me the pain
I’m not the one who should take all the blame
Spare me the guilt trip over the past
You are the reason I’m never looking back
Spare me the heartache
It’s already black
You are the reason I’m never looking back
That was then but this is now
What could have been is over now
That was then and this is now
What could have been is over now
Spare me the heartache
Spare me the pain
I’m not the one who should take all the blame
Spare me the guilt trip over the past
You are the reason I’m never looking back
You are the reason I’m never looking back
