Giving Myself Away - Faithless

In background - "Do what I have to"
Remember Emily?
{In background - "That's a long time" 2x}
In a long dress one summers day she said yes
Now every special requests requires another
So many times it feels endless, a big yes
Branded red on each breast
But she selfless out there
Doing her best strangest scene
Nobody seemed to be impressed.
The more she do for this fool
The more she behind schedule
Had no fun for so long
Old records turned her onto High School flings
And she was full of daring

Colorful hair used to wear thirteen rings
Now she staring gludgery
Full in the face and accepts it as her place
And just incase there's anything she missed,
She recheck the list
Does it over again,
To make sure it's spotless.

Jimmy longed for how it used to be,
She was viscous and volatile
She was feisty, iced tea was the tipple never asked nicely
Her lips used to Curl down ever so slightly, impolite,
Fire burned bright behind the Oakley,
We just had to get to grips.

After a few long sipped juice begin to lose flavour,
She no longer gets to savor being consumed.
Jimmy sleeps drunk in the other room still in his shoes Escaping head long into the booze,
The whole house vibrating with the changes of moods.

From feisty she turned into being nice to me
In the old days he'd of been wearing Ice T,
Jimmy Cradles times return,
She was fine and so beautifully unconcerned.

Jimmy Told her on the day he quit
You don't love me you love the relationship

Me?
I'm the prodeney product of Misogheny,
Jimmy and Emily Harmogeny
They promised me nothing but honesty,
And that's all I got,
I could never be the cement in their destiny,
They still haven't forgiven me,
You know my own woman is leaving me
Said she stopped believing me,
Cant even see what she saw in me,
I told my woman she was beautiful,
She didn't believe,
Convinced herself I was preparing to leave,
so she took my son and left the world free.

I told my woman she was beautiful Ten Times a Day,
Ten Times a Day she would Smile, and look away.

I end up throwing my love down a bottomless pit.
And giving myself away...
