lyrics

I remember day 1 with your gold dress on
Pale blond hair, I was unprepared
With a lump in my throat the first time we spoke
Now I’m getting closer to you than I deserve to
I used to hold you to what I want, but what I want is becoming what you are
It’s amazing how well you play the part

In a town not far from here, you were raised in fear
You were taught to run away from anything that got too real
Ignore the crowds, we’re a family now
You can dress trashy and cut your hair
Honey, I don’t even care
I used to hold you to what I want, but what I want is becoming what you are
It’s amazing how well you played the part

When I’m not home, always checking my phone
With you due any day, we’re going crazy
Our hands to the plow, building a family now
I know you’re tired and I am too, but we’ll make it through
I used to hold you to what I want, but now it’s this with you

In a hospital gown, every word is sacred now
What am I gonna do if I can’t wake up next to you?
Stay with me
Please don’t leave
If you get skinny and lose your hair, dammit, I don’t care
I used to hold you to what I want, now it’s neither here nor there
It’s amazing how well you played the part.
