Past Tense

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] I messed up You said things Took scissors to my heartstrings So I moved across the country Always thought that you'd forget me [Pre-Chorus] I don't want to be another blurry story That you tell your kids when we're both pushing forty Sometimes I wish that you would call me [Chorus] 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 Ohhhhhh yeah [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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
