Lyrics

[00:01.40] Try to live like this forever
[00:03.76] Love my mom and not upset her
[00:06.05] Even my ambition had
[00:08.62] To write itself in black
[00:10.88] Yeah, I know, it sounded right
[00:13.45] And helped my mother sleep at night
[00:15.83] But everything to everyone
[00:18.25] To you wasn't enough
[00:20.99] You could see through
[00:29.19] I could, too
[00:33.64] Emmylou
[00:39.74] All the love I have in me
[00:41.91] I understand how I could be
[00:44.34] A terrible example when
[00:46.82] I take my own advice
[00:48.89] I am not the victim, here
[00:51.53] And I am not the enemy
[00:53.78] So why did I design for you
[00:56.36] A face to place your sympathy?
[00:59.14] I'll do any fantasy
[01:01.04] But nothing that could seem to be
[01:03.50] I know this from the agony
[01:05.96] Because I don't know how
[01:08.43] I believe in common sense
[01:10.60] And maybe with coincidence
[01:13.06] But I don't believe in heaven
[01:15.26] So I have to have you now
[01:18.12] You could see through
[01:26.60] I could, too
[01:31.04] Emmylou
[01:41.92]
