Miserably Loving You
Artist vs. Poet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I decide to waste way
And contemplate how everything
Has changed
And though we tried
Not to compromise what burns inside
Your complex mind
That changes everyday
These deep breaths repeating
(My heart stops its beating)
And I don't know why
These deep breaths repeating
(My heart stops its beating)
The sun has yet to set
And you've already said goodnight
Emily, please, theres nothing wrong with
The way I light up
When you're around
Do anything you want but don't leave me out
Emily please, just get closer to me
A month went by, a month that I
Cant describe, a month I've been trying to push aside
And forget in time
And now we're inches away but
We're miles apart, so I'll dream of the day
And how we felt from the start
But dreams don't come easy these days
And the colors, they fade into gray
These deep breaths repeating
(My heart stops its beating)
Shes so determined to start a fight
These deep breaths repeating
(My heart stops its beating)
The sun has yet to set
And you're not here to say goodnight
Emily, please, theres nothing wrong with
The way I light up
When you're around
Do anything you want but don't leave me out
Emily come on, this was going somewhere
I wont let go of what we had
'Cause I'm the broken record that keeps on skipping back
And I still miss her
And I never thought that you'd leave me here all on my own
And I never thought that you'd be willing to take away my home
'Cause theres no one to call and
I'm so sick of being all alone
Miserably loving you
Emily, please, theres nothing wrong with
The way I light up
When you're around
Do anything you want but don't leave me out
Emily, please, theres nothing wrong with
The way I light up
When you're around
Do anything you want but don't leave me out
Emily come on, this was going somewhere
I wont let go of what we had
'Cause I'm the broken record that keeps on skipping back
Emily please, just get closer to me.
