Lansdowne - Emma lyrics

Help me not,

I'm helpless,

Can't help it,

I don't know how to be.

Seems I forgot

What it feels like

To feel right,

But if you could only see:

If he leaves me it leaves me no place in the world,

Cause distant are the dreams that I dreamt but as a girl.

And he loves me, I know it, you know I do it to myself.

And he tells me he's sorry, that leaving won't help.

But Emma, look through the eyes

That I'm looking through,

Cause never has the world been black and white,

Doesn't need to be black and blue.

I know that it seems you've seen

More than enough, but none of it's love.

And it's obvious to me that it's time for you to go,

But why can't you see?

Can't you see,

It's better,

I'm better,

It's been more than a week.

Told you not to worry.

Just gotta watch what I do,

And the mind that I speak,

Cause if he leaves me it leaves me no place in the world,

Cause distant are the dreams that I dreamt but as a girl.

And he loves me, I know it, you know I do it to myself.

And he tells me he's sorry, that leaving won't help.

But Emma, look through the eyes

That I'm looking through,

Cause never has the world been black and white,

Doesn't need to be black and blue.

I know that it seems you've seen

More than enough, but none of it's love.

And it's obvious to me that it's time for you to go,

But why can't you see?

And this is what she tells me:

And she tripped and fell,

That's why it's swelled.

It was the stairs, the door,

And there's something more.

Just a new story

Where the truth should be,

Then I hear her say oh no...

This time he used his fists,

And look he didn't miss,

All the black and blue is where

The tan used to be.

I hope the extra rouge

All hide the bruise,

And then I hear her say

"He's a good man, he loves me."

But I don't want to know that kind of love;

Don't know why she hasn't had enough.

But Emma, look through the eyes

That I'm looking through,

Cause never has the world been black and white,

Doesn't need to be black and blue.

I know that it seems you've seen

More than enough, but none of it's love.

And it's obvious to me that it's time for you to go,

But why can't you see?
