Past Tense of Pain
This is not a cry for help
No, this is just a cry
I would have died for you
Now I just want to die
Love was lying next to you
Now love is just a lie
Love is just the past tense of pain
Things were better when they were plural
Now I'm all alone in this lonely world
Prefer the pronouns us and we
But all I have is I and me
I wish I could say I will have learned from this
But fuck future perfect, perfect futures don't exist
Love is just the past tense of pain
So I'm not begging you to fix me
I'm just asking you to kiss me
So I can forget that I'm broken for a while
This is not a cry for help
No, this is just a cry
I would have died for you
Now I just want to die
Love was lying next to you
Now love is just a lie
Love is just the past tense of pain
The best way to get over someone
Is to get under someone else
Said the girl who'd been under everyone
But couldn't get over herself
So now I am on a mission
To give the word single a definition
That's more than just a synonym for alone
So I'm not begging you to love me
I'm just asking you to fuck me
So I can forget that I'm lonesome for a while
This is not a cry for help
No, this is just a cry
I would have died for you
Now I just want to die
Love was lying next to you
Now love is just a lie
Love is just the past tense of pain
Love is just the past tense of pain
Love is just the past tense of pain
No, this is just a cry
I would have died for you
Now I just want to die
Love was lying next to you
Now love is just a lie
Love is just the past tense of pain
Things were better when they were plural
Now I'm all alone in this lonely world
Prefer the pronouns us and we
But all I have is I and me
I wish I could say I will have learned from this
But fuck future perfect, perfect futures don't exist
Love is just the past tense of pain
So I'm not begging you to fix me
I'm just asking you to kiss me
So I can forget that I'm broken for a while
This is not a cry for help
No, this is just a cry
I would have died for you
Now I just want to die
Love was lying next to you
Now love is just a lie
Love is just the past tense of pain
The best way to get over someone
Is to get under someone else
Said the girl who'd been under everyone
But couldn't get over herself
So now I am on a mission
To give the word single a definition
That's more than just a synonym for alone
So I'm not begging you to love me
I'm just asking you to fuck me
So I can forget that I'm lonesome for a while
This is not a cry for help
No, this is just a cry
I would have died for you
Now I just want to die
Love was lying next to you
Now love is just a lie
Love is just the past tense of pain
Love is just the past tense of pain
Love is just the past tense of pain
