Emily's Song - Live on WERS
(Jess Yoakum)
February 9, 2006
You were about 12, I was 7
And day after day,
I watched the rage thrown at you in the kitchen
Then, I hid myself away
And, I don’t know how that light
Inside of you burned so brightly
When all around you scared and bruised
We just hid ourselves away
Yeah, we just hid ourselves away
When I became my own heroine
It meant your fall from grace
But, I put you on that pedestal you never wanted
Then it crashed and it took you away
Chorus
I don’t live my life the way you do
But, that doesn’t make me wrong or mean I disapprove (of you)
Grown apart, but found our own ways to the truth
Has it been too long since I said, “I love you”
Chorus
