In background - "Do what I have to"
|
Remember Emily?
|
[In background - "That's a long time" 2x]
|
In a long dress one summers day she said yes
|
Now every special requests requires another
|
So many times it feels endless, a big yes
|
Branded red on each breast
|
But she selfless out there
|
Doing her best strangest scene
|
Nobody seemed to be impressed.
|
The more she do for this fool
|
The more she behind schedule
|
Had no fun for so long
|
Old records turned her onto High School flings
|
And she was full of daring
|
|
Colorful hair used to wear thirteen rings
|
Now she staring gludgery
|
Full in the face and accepts it as her place
|
And just incase there's anything she missed,
|
She recheck the list
|
Does it over again,
|
To make sure it's spotless.
|
|
Jimmy longed for how it used to be,
|
She was viscous and volatile
|
She was feisty, iced tea was the tipple never asked nicely,
|
Her lips used to Curl down ever so slightly, impolite,
|
Fire burned bright behind the Oakley,
|
We just had to get to grips.
|
|
After a few long sipped juice begin to lose flavour,
|
She no longer gets to savor being consumed.
|
Jimmy sleeps drunk in the other room still in his shoes
|
Escaping head long into the booze,
|
The whole house vibrating with the changes of moods.
|
|
From feisty she turned into being nice to me
|
In the old days he'd of been wearing Ice T,
|
Jimmy Cradles times return,
|
She was fine and so beautifully unconcerned.
|
|
Jimmy Told her on the day he quit
|
You don't love me you love the relationship
|
|
Me?
|
I'm the prodeney product of Misogheny,
|
Jimmy and Emily Harmogeny
|
They promised me nothing but honesty,
|
And that's all I got,
|
I could never be the cement in their destiny,
|
They still haven't forgiven me,
|
You know my own woman is leaving me
|
Said she stopped believing me,
|
Cant even see what she saw in me,
|
I told my woman she was beautiful,
|
She didn't believe,
|
Convinced herself I was preparing to leave,
|
So she took my son and left the world free.
|
|
I told my woman she was beautiful Ten Times a Day,
|
Ten Times a Day she would Smile, and look away.
|
|
I end up throwing my love down a bottomless pit.
|
And giving myself away...
