old me

Old me, hate to tell you what you told me

Hate to admit what you sold me

Still feels so far away

And it's goofy that I want a love like the movies

That I wish you'd just stare straight through me

Straight to the other side

'Cause darling, for you, I'll fight

For love, for light

For you to say you're mine, all mine

I don't know much, but my love's enough

To last a whole lifetime

Mostly, I've come to like feeling lonely

There's no one to hurt if it's just me

Nothing to tidy up

'Cause you, dear

You stopped the show, and it's so clear

The life that I built was built on fear

And equal parts comfort zone

'Cause every now and then

I fall, and I risk it all

For things I know ain't good for me

I don't know much, but my love's enough

To last a whole lifetime

Yeah, it's funny

I often wonder if young me

Would look at me now and say proudly

"I really like who you are"

He'd say, "Jackson" (Jackson)

If you want a love that's long-lasting (Lasting)

You might want to start by acting (acting)

Like someone your own age

'Cause every now and then

I fall, and I risk it all

For things I know ain't good for me

I don't know much, but my love's enough

To last a whole lifetime
