The Ponytail Parades - Emery

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.

I will wait for you forever,
if you would just ask me.
I thought that I could change you
but you changed me.

It doesn't feel right,
holding someone else's hand.
Together on phone line,
and 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 both of us.
When will you see it's not (it's not) so easy for me

You're careless, and whispered, insulting, and bruising.
(I fall from you eyes, your eyes I trusted)
And I thought that you said things were improving.
(I fall from you eyes, you said forever)
These laces are untied, (I fall from you eyes...)
but my feet are still walking away.
Away

I never thought that you could say these words.
Is this really happening?
I never thought that you could say these words. (Don't say...)
Is this really happening?
I never thought that you could say these words. (Don't say that we can...)
Is this really happening?
I never thought that you could say these words. (Don't say that we can still be...)
Is this really happening?
I never thought that you could say these words. (Don't say that we can still be friends)
Is this really happening?

Erase my name from this page.

How can you take all these days
(What is inside of me what have I done?)
and throw them away
(Is this the only way that you will notice me?)
as I sit here waiting for you (for you)
(Dead words for closed ears all this is sung for you)

I stay up nights
(If you are still pretending this is what's right)
until stars leave the sky
(Why can't you look at me can you only see?)
knowing what my dreams can take away
(One side, your side, can take away)
Walk away from me.
This night is done.
