I Better Be Quiet Now Lyrics by Elliott Smith

I Better Be Quiet Now Lyrics

    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 the lie, you know
    I told him he shouldn't upset her
    And that he'd only be making it worse
    Involving somebody else
    But i knew 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 the 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. . . .
