[Verse 1]

Oh lover

I wish our lives had more time for the other

You hear me sleeping again

And I roll over into your smiling eyes

I'm dreaming in them

But I don't hear you like you want me to

I let you down again

And as much as you tell me I do

I'll never deserve you

I never deserve you


[Pre-Chorus]

Emily

Oh lover

You're the end of me

Oh love

End me, end me

Emily

Oh love

End me, end me, end me


[Chorus 1]

Oh lover

When we move at the same time

Oh lover

You leave me behind


[Verse 2]

I tell you that we might be worth more

More than we thought we'd be

And you wish that you'd agree

But you just seem sad and just answer 'maybe'

Now everything I thought I wanted

Collapses into you

I never thought that I was lying

I guess I just didn't know the truth


[Chorus 2]

Our only end is when

There just is no way for us to keep going


[Bridge]

Stop this, okay

Stop this, okay?

No

Stop this, no

Stop this

Stop this, okay

Stop this, okay?

I don't care if it's selfish

You keep twisting my words so I choke on them instead

Stop this, okay

Stop this, okay?

I don't care if it's selfish

(I don't care if it's selfish)

You keep twisting my words so I choke on them instead


[Outro]

Oh I'll be careful my love

I'd come back to you
