Willoughby Tucker, I'll Always Love You

when this was released last year, i couldn’t help but bawl my eyes out. sadly, ethel was right when she wrote “love is not enough in this world”. waco, texas really is 15 minutes of both heaven & hell 🫀 i always come out of this song feeling blessed though ✨ how do you even come up with lyrics like this? “[…] I liked him 'cause his rule was, "Do whatever you like, " and I tried, alright Now I'll wear these scars for life I loved you when it hurt inside to But in the low light You know I'd do anything for you You know I'd do anything for you You know it's true, 'cause I've said it to you Held in my arms, I swore I'd be good to you, be good to you Then sat and watched as you walked away from me (ah, me, me) Yeah, you've changed But did I ever know you? Or did I hold you Facing away from me The air in your room never moves Live and die by TV no one's watching Do you hate me? When this is over Maybe then we'll get some sleep I've been picking names for our children You've been wondering how you're gonna feed them Love is not enough in this world [….] I'd reach into your body And fix you if I could Will I feel like this forever? (Forever, forever, forever?) Are you angry? Do you hate me? And darling, time may forgive me But I won't You know I'd do anything for you You know it's true, 'cause I've said it to you Held in my arms, I swore I'd be good to you Then sat and watched As you walked away from me (from me) So I bled 'til I cried, 'til I felt I might die To be known the way you should Is to put yourself through hell Still I waited and tried, 'til it killed me 'Cause you're right I can wait if I want But it'll never be good enough like I Want to believe it is, is, is”
