Tom's Start Lyrics - Elliott Smith

Activity is killing 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 pass away and then you'll see 

And all I want now is happiness for you and me 

What I used to be will pass away and then you'll see 

And all I want now is happiness for you and me. . . .
