Past Tense

(album: A Heart Is a Terrible Thing to Break - 2023)

Baby I found a new piece of you
Buried inside me this afternoon
Next to the memories I should've put in a box
Baby there must be a piece of me
That still can't believe that we're history
I called you "my girlfriend" again and I know I should stop

But I can't face the truth

Don't you know I can't let you go
So I just pretend like you're still coming home
I left on the light and unlocked the door
'Cause I miss the sound of your steps on the floor
I know that you're gone and everything's changed
So why do I love you exactly the same
It doesn't make sense
Us in the past tense

Baby I think there's a part of me
That wishes I could take back everything
Go back in time and erase the first night that we met
But I can't face the truth

Don't you know I can't let you go
So I just pretend like you're still coming home
I left on the light and unlocked the door
'Cause I miss the sound of your steps on the floor
I know that you're gone and everything's changed
So why do I love you exactly the same
It doesn't make sense
Us in the past tense

Us in the past tense
Us in the past tense

Don't you know I can't let you go
So I just pretend like you're still coming home
I left on the light and unlocked the door
'Cause I miss the sound of your steps on the floor
I know that you're gone and everything's changed
So why do I love you exactly the same
It doesn't make sense
Us in the past tense
