Paroles de 'Past Tense' par Jordy (US)

We used 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've tried if you just let me
But you don't let me

Let me say I miss you, don't gotta 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 used 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

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 gotta 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 used 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

All these years and life gone by
Did time take you as you took your time?
Are you moving on too?
What are you trying to prove?
Cut me out and change your name
But you don't know and it feels the same
How come the love died?
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 used 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
