Tessa Quinn - Past Perfect Tense Lyrics

I see the way you look at me
But there's a shadow in your eyes
A love that came before our time
A story that never dies
You said you had moved on
But your heart still lingers there
Entertaining ghosts of yesterday
I feel her presence everywhere
In the past perfect tense she had your heart
She tossed you aside like some spare part
If you're here with me why am I alone
Trapped with the memories of a love that's long gone
We build our dreams on fragile ground
Am I your future or just a rebound
Her name slips through your lips at night
Your tortured whispers cut me like a knife
You say I am the one
But I see her in your eyes
In every kiss and every word
Her memory never dies
In the past perfect tense she had your heart
She tossed you aside like some spare part
If you're here with me why am I alone
Trapped with the memories of a love that's long gone
I'm competing with the shadows of the past
A love that went supernova fast
I'm caught up in the ugly aftermath
The inferno still burns steadfast
So here I am the present you can't see
Living in the shadow of who she used to be
In the past perfect tense where you reside
Loving a memory that never died
In the past perfect tense she had your heart
She tossed you aside like some spare part
If you're here with me why am I alone
Trapped with the memories of a love that's long gone
