Past Tense - Link 80

We once owned the way that we thought

I hate the fact that it all has to end

The best times of my life that I can recall

Are the times when you were my best friend

Can’t even label how the whole thing began to break

Or how it escalated beyond control

I just wish there was a way to get through to you

We were invincible and immune to pain

The predicament we find ourselves in now

We’re nothing then because we had no shame

And when I think about what stands between us today

I can’t seem to understand

Why both of us remain so stubborn and proud

I think we each need to act like a man

Now I think about what comes next

And I sincerely hope that we don’t lose track

Of what used to make our lives so enjoyable

I hope that we can get that back

I’m through living in the past tense
