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
