past like a mask - rodney crowell lyrics

Loading...

i was told to be a man was building fences strong
keep your woman in her place and she’ll keep hangin’ on
now i’ve grown to realize my life’s been filled with lies
the tread that i’ve been hangin’ on has broken in her eyes
if i could let my heart be known despite of walls so high
i might taste those bitter tears that i’ve never learned to cry

but i’ve got a paast like a mask
and i can see it in her face, the many years i can’t erase
a broken heart i can’t replace in spite of how i try
and i’ve got a past like a mask
and i sure took my time to understand

when i was young, not long ago, i hid my feelings well
sometimes i let my heartaches show but i could never tell
and now i find i’ve been blind, insensitive and vain
cause someone told me long ago “ignore a woman’s pain”
if i could change the fool i’ve been, i know just what’d do
i’d give her everything i can and make all her dreams come true

but i’ve got a paast like a mask
and i can see it in her face, the many years i can’t erase
a broken heart i can’t replace in spite of how i try
and i’ve got a past like a mask
and i sure took my time to understand
