death to love

song title: death to love
written by lucy gray baird
about her ex (cheating) boyfriend, billy taupe clade
and how her love for him died

verse 1:
you sang me goodnight when all was right
you claimed to love only me in plain sight
dear boy, i was told that you've been lying
so you'll pay the due bills on our love, dying

chorus:
one can love another forever
even if the other does not love too
one can love another forever
but not when the other made that heart bruised

verse 2:
the news came on a day where the sun was out shining
i was walking down the street, ending all of that fighting
he wore a dark robe like a man who was wrong
he's the instigator of this heartbreak song

chorus:
one can love another forever
even if the other does not love too
one can love another forever
but not when the other made that heart bruised

verse 3:
the man told me he'd seen you sliming around
didn't want to believe, but he showed me about
what you had done, there was evidence of the crime
you'd think someone would know how to cover a lie

chorus:
one can love another forever
even if the other does not love too
one can love another forever
but not when the other made that heart bruised

bridge:
i only was never enough
so there's death to our love
i was only your side piece
so you'll be kicked to the streets
shouldn't have messed with young lucy gray
no one will listen to what you have to say
because i was never enough
you have brought death to our love

verse 4:
so long, billy taupe, you will not be missed
so long to the one who i cared with a kiss
your treacherous name will now haunt the streets you walk on
and you'll never see what is coming to bite you on the darkest dawn
