Emelie

I shaved off my beard on the day that you left
Hoping you would see me like i was when we met

The winter took the best of me and closed all my doors
I know you think you're fine but I won't let it close yours

I remember you coming home to me, wishing you were dead
You took off your dress and then you cried in my bed

Your tired eyes, restless heart and lungs filled with tar
Felt so awake as you slept in my arms

Emelie it's been a long night and I'm longing for you to take me home
I'll give you my heart and what's left of my soul
If you promise to never grow old

Anxiety has crippled me and turned me into a mess
I wake up every morning with an ache in my chest

I know It didn't work out and I know it never will
But it was the first thing in a long time that really made me feel

So honey grab your coat, we're leaving now
I don't know where we're going but I can't stand this crowd

And I don't need you to love me, maybe that's too much to ask
But dear, I need someone to hold me and god I need one last chance

Emelie it's been a rough year and the nightmares still keep me awake
I know you wanted more than just a kiss in the rain
And I'm sorry, I have nothing to say

I know you don't deserve this
You know I don't belong here
And maybe our lives will be better
After us

Emelie this pain won't go away and I think I might die here tonight
Been sitting here for weeks watching rain turn to snow
And I think I have to let you go
