Emily

Most of my life I’ve spent being let down.
Stopped hoping for love from this one horse town.
I wanna get out before I end up drowned.
So why do I feel like I got somethin' to lose?
Why does it seem like I ought to see it through?
Emily—why you doin' this to me?
Emily—is this how it’s meant to be?
Oh no… I can’t let myself be drawn into your world…
It’s too late for me to stay for just one girl…
Got a plane ticket booked. Got my bags at the door.
I’ll never regret not bein' here no more.
There’s nothin' here worth stayin' for.
So why do I hope you’ll come by to tell me no,
That you need me and can’t bear to let me go?
Emily—why you doin' this to me?
Emily—is this how it’s meant to be?
Oh no… I can’t let myself be drawn into your world…
It’s too late for me to stay for just one girl…
But you never phoned,
You never made me stay,
And now I hear
That you’re moving away…
And it’s only now that
I eventually see,
You’re the opposite of
What’s opposite to me—
What’s opposite to me—
Emily—why you doin' this to me?
Emily—is this how it’s meant to be?
Oh no… I can’t let myself be drawn into your world…
It’s too late for me to stay for just one girl…
