Lyrics
Past Tense
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've been known to use the past tense,
cause I'm never quite sure about now.
You see, I'm in between the barriers
of where I wanna be and where I am.
And I know I need to breathe in,
but i feel like my breath's running low.
I'd just like for you to come home again.
Cause I can't be alone for this long,
and function like I should.
And I can't lie about what I've done wrong,
but I can do good.
And you may not agree,
but you had no right to leave.
(you had no right to leave.)
I'm a hopeless kind of sentence,
with mistakes in the proper form.
I'm a mess, I'm a wreck,
I'm unfortunately staying like this.
And I know that I should straighten up,
but it's so hard to grasp onto something real,
when all I had, all I want, and all I've ever made,
will never be seen again.
Cause I can't be alone for this long,
and function like I should.
And I can't lie about what I've done wrong,
but I can do good.
And you may not agree,
but you had no right to leave.
(you had no right to leave.)
