Like You Used To

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 darlin', 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 crawlin' and that light begins to fade

Just love me darlin', 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 Tied to your ball and chain

Just love me darlin', 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 darlin', I think I can stay

Just love me darlin', I think I can stay

Just love me
