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
