True Love Lyrics - Heaven Adores You - Elliott Smith

True love is a rose behind glass 

It's locked and kept 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 heavenly bodies above 

And each night I look up 

At a bright honeymoon 

Because it sure seemed built to last 

Even after my honeymoon past 

I kept right on at midnight 

Like a ghost 

To the house it once haunted 

And day after day 

I'd steal with my true love away 

To some hideout we left undisturbed 

We could do what we wanted 

But I started to feel like a liar 

Saying I love you 

She was madly in love or mad at me 

There was 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 around 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 bleed 

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 

Because 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, my lord 

Take me home today 

Take me out of this place 

Take me home with you today
