My old self could love you She'd pull you in tight Swallow you down like a bottle of wine And speaking of wine I know she'd clean you up on nights you got too high She'd do it for you, cause you were her guy My old self could love you She'd give it her all She'd listen all night, to things that you like To just hear you talk And after the curtain closes I've outgrown ya & I would be doin us a crime To pretend that you're mine My old self could love you And you'd love her back You'd light up your match, before it attacked And she'd be the calm to soothe your crash Cause she wanted to feel wanted And she liked that you needed her back But in time it got too heavy and she cracked Now is now and that was then I've trained to keep you out my head I've learned to sleep alone in bed Its over darlin' But my old self would love you You were the one that she found It's not like before, we can't ignore That we're such different people now As the curtain closes I've outgrown ya & I would be doing us a crime To pretend that you're mine
