Emery: The Ponytail Parades (Acoustic/Live)

three sleepless nights
this isn't how its supposed to be
but you're so good at taking your time to get back to me
and i will wait for you forever
if you would just ask me
and i thought that i could change you, but you've changed me

it doesn't feel right holding someone elses hand
together on phone lines, living at two opposite ends
it scares me to think that you could find takers other than me
and better than me

but your head is elsewhere and i'm talking enough for the both of us
when will you see? it's not (it's not) so easy for me

But youre careless (i fall from ) and whisper (your eyes)
(i trusted) insulting and bruising (i thought that you said forever)
and i thought that you said things were improving
these laces are untied, but my feet are walking away.walking away.
(laces .. are .. untied .. but my feet .. are walking away)

i never thought that you could say these words, is this really happening?
i never thought that you could say these words, is this really happening?
(don't say ..)
i never thought that you could say these words, is this really happening?
(don't say that we ..)
i never thought that you could say these words, is this really happening?
(don't say that we can still be .. )
i never thought that you could say these words, is this really happening?
(don't say that we can still be friends.. )


how can you take all these days?
(what is inside me, what have i done?)

and throw them away
(is this the only way that you'll notice me?)

as i sit here waiting for you.
(dead words for closed ears all this is sung for you)

i stay up nights
(if youre still pretending this is whats right)

until stars leave the sky
(why cant you look at me can you only see)

knowing what my dreams take away
(one side your side, can take away)
