Emily

She drinks her expectations,
She still smiles but she’s afraid.
She runs for a golden shelter,
A song’s everything she got left
And why do all the scars go
Yet, the pain still remains?
You’re a clover buried
In the sands of your mistakes

So what would you say
If the shades of the past
Were to knock at your door?
Will you pretend you’re not home?
Now, that you’re nothing,
Nothing but a lonely ghost,
Look at what you’ve become,
Guess what you’ll become.

Strayed from the road,
Stranded alone.
Out of the rain
But into the storm.
It all was perfecter than God itself
But settled down for someone else.
Someone who embraced the truth,
Someone better than you.

She cries against the window,
Singing something sad
And writing in the mirror
Words that never hurt so bad:
“I have forgotten your name,
I have forgotten your face
But I remember
The heartbreak.”

So where will you go
When you’ll realize
The streets you’ve walked
Were leading to nowhere at all?
Now that you’re nothing,
Nothing more than a ghost,
Is it really what you want?
Look at what you’ve become.

Strayed from the road,
Stranded alone.
Out of the rain
But into the storm.
It all was perfecter than God itself
But settled down for someone else.
Someone who embraced the truth,
Someone better than you.

So, there you stay,
Wipe those tears,
Let’s let the sunrise
Kill your fears
And then you’ll say
You still believe
That you’re the one
you must forgive
And there you stay,
Enjoy this storm
‘Cause there’s no stain
The rain can’t wash
And pack your bags,
Don’t leave us notes,
Just walk away
And sing this song.

Strayed from the road,
Stranded alone.
Out of the rain
But into the storm.
It all was perfecter than God itself
But settled down for someone else.
Someone who embraced the truth,
Someone better than you.
