Like You Used To

(album: Tides Of A Teardrop - 2019)

Is there a reason in the things we say and shout at one another
We're three sheets to the wind and every word just pulls us under
All the dirt we've piled upon our layers of decay
Just love me darling, I think I can stay

Love me like you used to do way back when
'Fore the rug was pulled beneath your feet
And you fell back in the saddle, left time standing still
And put all your troubles right on me

To say we've got your problems is an understated truth
But in your times of clarity I found the light in you
So when your skin's crawling and that light begins to fade
Just love me darling, I think I can stay

Love me like you used to do way back when

If I could take your pain away you'd never have to try
Maybe then, just maybe, we could lead a normal life
Freedom has new meaning tight to your ball and chain
Just love me darling, I think I can stay

Love me like you used to do way back when
'Fore the rug was pulled beneath your feet
And you fell back in the saddle, left time standing still
And put all your troubles right on me

Just love me darling, I think I can stay
Just love me darling, I think I can stay
Just love me
