My Old Self Could Love You Lyrics

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
