(Verse 1)
I can't be with you again
Don't remind me of the good times that we had
I learned a lot from us since then
And I never want these feelings to ever come again
(Chorus)
You'll never hear me crying
You'll never see me trying
To love you once again
Your love is so past tense
(Verse 2)
Please don't tell me that you've changed
(and I) don't want to hear on how, you've lost your evil ways
(you see) the one whose changed this time is me
And I won't go back to feeling helpless and deceived
(Chorus)2X
You'll never hear me crying
You'll never see my trying
To love you once again 
Your love is so past tense
(YOUR LOVE)
(YOUR LOVE)
(Bridge)
To think you had me fooled every now and then
You had me believing that I was the reason that you left
But I won't fall back in love with you again
I don't even want to be, - I don't want to be - 
(backgrounds) your friend, no NO NO
(Chorus - )2X
You'll never hear me crying
You'll never see me trying
To love you once again
Your love is so past tense
