Put It Behind You

Song byKeane

in AlbumUnder The Iron Sea

Times goes by at such a pace

It's funny how it's easy to forget her face

You hide the cracks, the facts will find you

Turn your back and leave the lonely days behind you now

You better put it behind you now

Too much to hold on, hold on to

You better put it behind you now

All the things you took for granted

Hit you like a bullet in the gut

You can't get up

Well are you gonna even try?

Cos if you never even try

Time will pass you by

You better put it behind you now

Too much to hold on, hold on to (Hold on, hold on to)

You better put it behind you now

Too much to hold on, to hold on to (Hold on, hold on to)

You better do what's best for you

Don't care what she said and (Better put it behind you now, better put it behind you now)

Only in your head (Hold on, hold on to)

Time will help you out (Better put it behind you now, you better put it behind you now)

Still you don't see her (Hold on, hold on to)

You better put it behind you now

Too much to hold on, to hold on to

You better do what's best for you
