Elliott Smith - Tom's Start lyrics

Activity is k**ing the actor And a cop's standing out in the road turning traffic away There's nothing she could do until after When his body'd been buried below Way back in the day Oh my nothing else could have been done Made his life a lie So he might never have to know anyone Made his life a lie, you know I told him he shouldn't have sent her He'd only be making it worse Bothering somebody else But I he that he'd never forget her While her memory worked in reverse To keep her safe from herself Oh my nothing else could have been done She made her life a lie So she might never have to know anyone Made her life a lie, you know What I used to be will pa** away and then you'll see And all I want now is happiness for you and me What I used to be will pa** away and then you'll see And all I want now is happiness for you and me. . . .
