Put It Behind You Lyrics

Time goes by at such a pace
Its funny how its 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'd better put it behind you now
You'd better put it behind you now
Too much to hold on, hold on to
Better put it behind you now

All the things you take for granted
Hit you like a bullet in the gut you cant get up
Well are you going to even try?
Cos if you never even try, time will pass you by

You'd better put it behind you now
You'd better put it behind you now
Too much to hold on, hold on to
You'd better put it behind you now
You'd better put it behind you now
Too much to hold on, to hold on to
You'd better do whats best for you

Don't care what she said
'Only in your head'
Time will help you out
Still you don't see how

You'd better put it behind you now
You'd better put it behind you now
Too much to hold on, to hold on to
You'd better do what's best for you

Do not read the song, just read the title. Forget about it all, you do not have to remember the past, put it behind you. I can too put it behind. All will be well.

I really have high hopes for this scoring highly in the charts as Is It Any Wonder did! sooooooooo catchy, then again i wanted Can't Stop Now to be a single! Quite simply it is about a person who has lost the one they love, they still obvisously crave them, but they have to get on with their lives, and Put it Behind them!

also the little bit before the last rousing burst of the chorus the lines go

Don't care what she said Only in your head Time will help you out Still you don't see how!

Somewhere I read that this was written by a band member for another member who had lost his girlfriend and just couldn't get over it. The song encourages me to put it all behind myself too...

Yeah I heard the whole album includes songs written for one of Keane about his situation with his girlfriend. Don't know which, just can't recall.

LOVE THIS SONG. My interpretation is that this guy's singing either for himself or a friend, and he wants to get over a girl. Very good song.

Tim Rice-Oxley wrote it about his messy break up with his girlfriend after being together for 7 years.

Normally I wouldn't know, but it was on the Keane DVD that Tim Rice-Oxely wrote it for Richard Hughes' nasty break up of 7 years... (key-boardist wrote it for the drummer)

This song puts a positive spin on getting over a messy break up. It’s basically saying, “yeah, that whole situation sucked. But now, you got to move on.” Which in life, is necessary to do.
