Emily Lyrics by Matt Wills

Cigarettes & City Lights

2017

[Verse 1]
Lately, I've seen a different side of you, and darling
Maybe, all the things you put me through have you falling
Tore my heart and stole my ways
Sorry that I let you change
[Chorus]
My Emily, oh
My Emily, oh
You laid down your life for me
Turn down the lights suddenly
So I am the one you need
I'm tired of running
[Verse 2]
Lately, I'm sleeping less and drinking more than I used to
And me, you follow me too, and I wish that you never knew
You had a taste and now you're always wanting more
She stole your heart and stole your ways
Sorry that I let you change
[Chorus]
My Emily, oh
My Emily, oh
You laid down your life for me
Turn down the lights suddenly
So I am the one you need
I'm tired of running
I'm tired of running
[Bridge]
I'll never save you, I'll never be your faith
This fucked up behaviour is something I can't explain
Don't mark my words now but trust me, I feel your pain
I love to see you, please be something more
Need your reflection and still feel secure
I wish that I had just waited my time
Nowadays, I hold you, I still watch you burn
[Chorus]
My Emily, oh
My Emily, oh
You laid down your life for me
Turn down the lights suddenly
So I am the one you need
I'm tired of running
'Cause you are too good for me
I know that I'm too weak
Promise me when you leave
I'm tired of running
I'm tired of running
