Past You
Kevin Paris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I burned them all dropped my tears in the smoke
Ripped up the photos shattered the frames
I sent the late night texts to forget your name
I tried to bury all my pain deep
In a place where no one else could ever find me aching
Do you feel me?
But we got too much history, too many memories, and
Letting go of you
Turning all the pages
Loving someone new
Oh you know I tried
Getting over you
Letting go of the past
But part of me will never get past
You
Will never get past
You
You quickly posted with someone else
Like all our love was gone or was never felt
You two were standing with your family
By the wall where our photos used to be
And you look happy, yea you look past me
But we got too much history, too many memories, and
Oh you know I tried
Letting go of you
Turning all the pages
Loving someone new
Oh you know I tried
Getting over you
Letting go of the past
But part of me will never get past you, nah
Will never get past
I wish I never came at you catchin feelings
Cuz I'm so tired of running chasing all this healing
Yea I've been bleeding since the day you said you're leaving
So I go running when the newer lovers lean in
When all they want is to be loved and to be chosen
The closer that we get the more I'm broken
And oh you know I tried
Letting go of you
Turning all the pages
Loving someone new
Oh you know I tried
Getting over you
Letting go of the past
But part of me will never, ever, ever get past you, no
Will never get past you
