Lyrics Past Tense - Claire Ernst

I hate past tense
Saying you were and he was
Hurts
It was so soon It doesn′t make any sense
But I've gotta get used to using past tense
You were so loved and you were so kind
You taught me how to live and how to fight
You kept me humble and led me out of the dark
You don′t live on this earth anymore but you're still in my heart
I wish it was was present tense
Wish you were here right next to me
But I guess he can get pretty bored up there
I guess he needed you more than me
You were so known and you were so kind
You taught me how to love and not to fight
You kept me grounded and led me out of the dark
You don't live on this earth anymore but you′re still in my heart
I hate past tense
But I′m getting used to it
No matter how much time passes or how much it hurts
I will always remember the man that you
Were.
