[Verse 1] What's past is past, but I won't forget. What's past is past and it won't come back again. What is here today will be gone someday. Nothing holds it back, nothing makes it stay. Autumn fades away, winter takes its place. Every tree turns grey and the color leaves the city streets. [Pre-Hook] After autumn — winter comes. You already know. After autumn — winter comes. And the trees are white with snow. [Verse 2] People rush to work like there's nothing left to see. No one stops to notice winter underneath their feet. No one seems to care that winter's already here. The days grow shorter every year and there's so little sky to see. [Pre-Hook] Someone says hello, I don't wanna hear. Everything I wanted can no longer be here. My tears turn cold, But that's mine to hide. After autumn — winter comes... But it's not for you.... And it's not for me tonight. [Hook] What's past is past — (it's past!) And it will never be again. What's past is past — (it's past!) And it won't come back again. What's past is past — (it's past!) Let it fade away. What's past is past... And nothing stays the same.... [Verse 3] What was is gone and all my birds have flown. I wanted to fly with them, but I couldn't leave this snow. All the things I wanted, all the things I couldn't keep, Turned into a winter buried underneath my feet. Someone calls my name, I don't wanna hear. Everything I ever wanted has disappeared. What was is gone and it won't return. I sit here all alone, drawing circles in the snow. [Pre-Hook] My tears are drying out, I don't need them anymore. No one tells me now what I was waiting for. No one tells you anymore That without you there isn't enough sky to see. No one tells you anymore That you were all the sky to me! [Hook] What's past is past — (it's past!) And it will never be again. What's past is past — (it's past!) And it won't come back again. What's past is past — (it's past!) Let it fade away. What's past is past... And nothing stays the same. What's past is past — (it's past!) And it will never be again. What's past is past — (it's past!) And it won't come back again. What's past is past — (it's past!) Let it fade away. What's past is past... And nothing stays the same....
