Emery SONG

three sleepless nights
this isn't how it's supposed to be
but you're so good at taking your time
to give back to me

i will wait for you forever
if you would just ask me
i thought that i could change you
but you changed me

but it doesn't feel right
holding someone else's hand
together on phone lines
and living at two opposite ends

it scares me to think that you could find takers
other than me
and better than me

but your head is elsewhere
and i'm talking enough for both of us
when will you see it's not so easy for me

but you're careless
and whisper
insulting
and bruising

tied off
and you said
thanks for improving

these laces are untied
but my feet are walking away
away

i never thought that you could say these words
is this really happening?

i never thought that you could say these words
is this really happening?
(don't say...)

i never thought that you could say these words
is this really happening?
(don't say that we can...)

i never thought that you could say these words
is this really happening?
(don't say that we can still be...)

i never thought that you could say these words
is this really happening?
(don't say that we can still be friends)

how can you take
(what is inside me?)
all these things
(what have i done?)
and throw them away
(is this the only way that you'll notice me?)
as i sit here waiting
([?] all this is sung)
for you

and if you're still pretending
(and i'm saying lines)
this is what's right
(until stars hit the sky)
why can't you look at me
can't you only see one side
(knowing what side can't)
your side can't take away

walk away from me
this night is done
