Emelie Lyrics - David Hermansson

I shaved off my beard on the day that you left 

Hoping you would see me like i was when we met 

The winter took the best of me and closed all my doors 

I know you think you're fine but I won't let it close yours 

I remember you coming home to me, wishing you were dead 

You took off your dress and then you cried in my bed 

Your tired eyes, restless heart and lungs filled with tar 

Felt so awake as you slept in my arms 

Emelie it's been a long night and I'm longing for you to take me home 

I'll give you my heart and what's left of my soul 

If you promise to never grow old 

Anxiety has crippled me and turned me into a mess 

I wake up every morning with an ache in my chest 

I know It didn't work out and I know it never will 

But it was the first thing in a long time that really made me feel 

So honey grab your coat, we're leaving now 

I don't know where we're going but I can't stand this crowd 

And I don't need you to love me, maybe that's too much to ask 

But dear, I need someone to hold me and god I need one last chance 

Emelie it's been a rough year and the nightmares still keep me awake 

I know you wanted more than just a kiss in the rain 

And I'm sorry, I have nothing to say 

I know you don't deserve this 

You know I don't belong here 

And maybe our lives will be better 

After us 

Emelie this pain won't go away and I think I might die here tonight 

Been sitting here for weeks watching rain turn to snow 

And I think I have to let you go
