Past Tense (Bonus Track)
We use to
We did that
You looked at me on my front steps
And I knew that it was over
The second you came over
You held me
And you kissed my head
And you told me
That it was better off this way
Well, it was for a day
I don't want to pretend that I like that ending
We both know I would have tried if you just let me
But you don't let me
Let me say I miss you
Don't got to say it back
I've tried to keep my mouth shut
And keep us in the past
You're the only one that's ever really known me
But lately I've been kinda jealous of the old me
So let me say I love you
You use to say it back
But now we hardly ever talk
I know you wanted that
I guess a future with you just doesn't make sense
But know my biggest regret is letting you become a past tense
(Ohh)
I messed up
You said things
Took scissors to my heartstrings
So I moved across the country
Always thought that you'd forget me
I don't want to be another blurry story
That you tell your kids when we're both pushing 40
Sometimes I wish that you would call me
And let me say I miss you
Don't got to say it back
I've tried to keep my mouth shut
And keep us in the past
You're the only one that's ever really known me
But lately I've been kinda jealous of the old me
So let me say I love you
You use to say it back
But now we hardly ever talk
I know you wanted that
I guess a future with you just doesn't make sense
But know my biggest regret is letting you become a past tense
Oh, yeah
Oh, all these years
And life gone by
Did time take you
As you took your time
I am moving on too
What are you trying to prove
Cut me out and change your name
But you don't know how it feels the same
How come you loved that
Do you ever wonder why
I don't say I miss you
'Cause you won't say it back
I hate to keep my mouth shut
And keep us in the past
You're the only one that I've allowed to know me
But lately I've been kinda jealous of the old me
Who use to say I love you
And you would say it back
And now we hardly ever talk
And you're just fine with that
I saw a future with you, now it don't make sense
But know my biggest regret is letting you become a past tense
We did that
You looked at me on my front steps
And I knew that it was over
The second you came over
You held me
And you kissed my head
And you told me
That it was better off this way
Well, it was for a day
I don't want to pretend that I like that ending
We both know I would have tried if you just let me
But you don't let me
Let me say I miss you
Don't got to say it back
I've tried to keep my mouth shut
And keep us in the past
You're the only one that's ever really known me
But lately I've been kinda jealous of the old me
So let me say I love you
You use to say it back
But now we hardly ever talk
I know you wanted that
I guess a future with you just doesn't make sense
But know my biggest regret is letting you become a past tense
