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.
