True Love — текст песни (Elliott Smith)

true love is a rose that i guess(?)
is locked to get closed
maybe just to me
my heart`s been attacked
shattered by tough love, bad love
i bought mine off the street
true love man just can`t be beat
i felt so complete
married to heaven, angels above
and each night i look up
at a bright honey moon
cause it sure seemed built to last
even after my honey moon past
i kept right on at midnight
like a ghost
to the house it once haunted
day after day
i`d steal with my true love away
to some hide out we left undisturbed
we could do what we wanted
but i started to feel like a liar
saying i love you
madly in love or mad me
there`s no in between
it come on and on
i found i can`t make a stand
i`m her hired hand
i have to do harm
one day i got sick
she played me a nasty old trick
said i need cigarettes
walked round the block
caught a cab
stayed gone for too long
my love had gotten too strong
just to try to getting back on my own
i had to go to rehab
all i need is a safe place to breathe
is this where it`s at
half of no chance
steps in a dance
your life`s just a combat
now i`m the king of the ward
cause i`m good and i swallow my sword
puke it up
for the doctor to write a new prescription
tranquil as a dove
people that have lost their true love
all seem to fit the same description
i feel cold, useless and old
wish i was no one
take me home
take me home today
take me out of this place
take me out, do it today
