Past and Present

Burst at the seams
Of a Hollywood dream
But it's more like a Dollywood affair
Did my hair real nice
And I didn't think twice about the damage that I can't repair

Recipe for disaster here and there after
I sang upon the stage
Mix some wine with some sadness
You unleash a madness
Like a dog let out of a cage

Don't let the fools fool you my dear
Let my lessons save you some resentment
Make them respect you don't let 'em mess you
'Cause the past cannot dictate the present

There's rhyme and there's reason
And through every season
We learn and we learn to let go
I got caught in a sickness and he did bear witness
To my lowest of lows
But I just don't like him this isn't to spite him
I just can't stand his face
An enabling creep cause when I needed sleep
He passed me a drink that was laced

Don't let the fools fool you my dear
Let my lessons save you some resentment
Make them respect you don't let 'em mess you
'Cause the past cannot dictate the present

I'm tryna forget him wish I never met him
Wish I could move on with my life
But every now and then a memory flashes in
And I'm cringing just at the sight
I'll let you in on a secret and if you can keep it
I might let you in on two
My list of regrets, well I have to admit
My regret number one is you

Don't let the fools fool you my dear
Let my lessons save you some resentment
Make them respect you don't let 'em mess you
'Cause the past cannot dictate the present

Don't let the fools fool you my dear
Let my lessons save you some resentment
Make them respect you don't let 'em mess you
'Cause the past cannot dictate the present
