lyrics

you used to call me ‘baby’
pink lipstick on crisp white sheets and
you used to bruise my neck
with kisses that my mother said looked

like i’d loved a demon
but on that stage i remember thinking you
looked more like an angel
the way you touched my cheek and said

you
better watch out
they’ll tear that dress and they’ll
scream and shout you

better be brave
cause there’s no love for boys who shave and when

you were still in your youth
your father told you he’d had no son and you
tried to tell him the truth
but he wouldn’t listen to anyone and

i remember that night
the night you came home in a fright with
black tear-tracks down your cheeks
and wouldn’t eat for a whole week saying

you
better watch out
they’ll tear that dress and they’ll
scream and shout you

better be brave
cause there’s no love for boys who shave and

i remember sequins
scattered over blood-red hems and i’d
never been an artist
but i wished that i could draw your face as

you stepped out on that stage
in black high heels that were all the rage and
you were never perfect
but in those moments it sure seemed it and

you
better watch out
they’ll tear that dress and they’ll
scream and shout you

better be brave
cause there’s no love for boys who shave and

in the hospital, I
watched your face turn grey and dull and the
color on your cheeks
wasn’t blush and wasn’t rogue and

i remember beauty
the way you could still smile at me and
even as you left me
i couldn’t cry cause you were free and

you
better watch out
they’ll tear that dress and they’ll
scream and shout you

better be brave
cause there’s no love for boys who shave
