“Too Lovely”
By Beatie Wolfe

Go say goodnight to the bats, that
Sleep in your closet, under all your hats,
And close the coffin door, before there’s a chill in the room,
and we can’t get excited

Curl up in the space next to me,
He said to me, you were my friend, my enemy
But can’t you see, it was all just fictional, wasn’t it?
It had to be

I used to love you, just the way you were
You didn’t have to change; you didn’t have to find her
I used to love you, just the way you were
You didn’t have to change; you didn’t have to find her

Play dead in your head, there ain’t no lions there
Stroking your face, licking your hair,
Go to that place, and forget that you love it,
Because it’s so wrong

Make up a speech, to preach, when they expose you,
Your face all made up, make out,
It’s just delusion, a big confusion
(There ain’t no truth it in)

I used to love you, just the way you were
You didn’t have to change; you didn’t have to find her
I used to love you, just the way you were
You didn’t have to change

And with every creak that this floor makes
It tears the hearth, it breaks the stake,
Until we’re just living as prisoners of each other
Doesn’t it make it harder?

I used to love you, just the way you were
You didn’t have to change; you didn’t have to find her
I used to love you, just the way you were
You didn’t have to change; you didn’t have to find her
