Emancipate Myself (EP Version) Lyrics by Thirsty Merc
Thirsty Merc
2004
[Intro] Every breath you t-- [Verse 1] As if I'd sing that song to you You probably think you deserve it at the present time But if only you knew how you treated me When we were together then you might understand Remember the time you made me wait for a month When you had exams, which I was cool about But then the night you finished you barred me from all your plans And you went out with other people Now I'll always give you the benefit of the doubt And I think there's enough natural maturity Floatin' around for the tension and release time To even out between two people like you and me And I've been thinking and since we've broken up I've realised things were mostly in your favour And a normal person wouldn't put up with this But for some stupid reason I don't wanna move on [Chorus] And now I'm stuck in a moment It's bad for my health Well, I'm gone If I don't emancipate myself [Verse 2] Now I gotta say that all of this is Coming down on me like a tonne of bricks at this present time I don't have much cash And I'm just trying to figure out the rest of my life But I think a lot of people would agree that All you need is a feeling of freedom And when you're in emotional limbo Everything you think about and do is filtered through that But I don't wanna make you unhappy or jealous in any way Because ultimately in life it's your own choice who you surround yourself with And I'm responsible for those things too And I've treated people badly at times in relationships And maybe what you're doing is Some kind of payback for all those past lives But that also doesn't change the fact that [Chorus] Now I'm stuck in a moment It's bad for my health Well, I'm gone If I don't emancipate myself There's no spirit to find me And no wishing well Well I'm gone If I don't emancipate myself Set me free [Guitar Solo] Alright I've gotta get myself out of this thing If it's the last thing I ever do [Verse 3] So whatcha gonna do now? What, you gonna keep me hanging on or something, are you? You gonna keep me hanging on? You gonna keep me hanging on? You gonna keep me hanging on? Gonna keep me hanging on? Gonna keep me hanging on? 'Cos I have a feeling it's all in my own mind And if I have anything to do with it, knowing me I enjoy putting myself through this kind of trauma to a degree How 'bout you? Thought so Maybe you shouldn't call me anymore 'Cause I need some time to get to know myself again Then once again we say it's final Then I'm gonna miss you even more, even the most I don't want you to know that I'm missing you Yeah let's establish even more of a communication breakdown And then wonder why later on All the honesty and trust is gone between us [Chorus] Now I'm stuck in a moment It's bad for my health Well, I'm gone If I don't emancipate myself There's no spirit to find me And no wishing well Well, I'm gone If I don't emancipate myself Got to get out [Post-Chorus] Well this thing's been going on for too long, baby (Now I'm stuck in a moment) And I've got to do something for myself for a while (It's bad for my health) 'Cause you've been treating me so bad, for so long (Well, I'm gone) And it just can't go on, it can't go on (If I don't emancipate myself) Well I don't want you calling me on the telephone (There's no spirit to find me) And I don't wanna see your face no more (And no wishing well) Yeah, that's right (Well, I'm gone) I couldn't really care (If I don't emancipate myself) You go your way, I'll go mine
