Emotion
E-Motion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah I'm having a hard time
I'm having a hard time thinking straight
Yeah my minds spinning
Don't know what I've been feeling yeah
My thoughts got the best of me
Yeah my heart is drifting
Don't know if my love is fading yeah
Emotions get the better me
See
Going through the same things on the same day same place
Thinking I'll go change my pace yeah
Same lie to the same face at the same time
Thinking the problem isn't me
Yeah think the problem isn't me
Somethings I just won't take to believe
Lies I breathe
Life's about finding the way
Life's about weighing out all of the pain
With finding pleasureful things along the way
But what happens when those things fade away
When past things cant bring you happiness anymore
When you're weak and not strong enough no more
Your mind has your heart fighting yourself at war
Isn't the first time I've been like this before
I failed to answer for the time I took to ignore
And as life comes to get better there's more
We have to lose the more we have lost
Then the less we will have to hope for
Sad to think I have to imagine my importance
Have had to invent a purpose to escape my avoidance
With no meaning I'm tired of being crushed by own insignificance
Yeah my minds spinning
Don't know what I've been feeling yeah
My thoughts got the best of me
Yeah my heart is drifting
Don't know if my love is fading yeah
Emotions get the better me
See
Trying to say the right things in the right way right place
Wonder if I've found the right pace yeah
Right try with the right chase at the right time
Trying my best to prove myself yeah
Trying to prove myself
But I'll never be the perfect one
Look at what I've done
I can't see what life should be
Never having faith in what it could be
I always mistake what I think feels good
For what I think I'm doing is truly good
And I swear I'm trying to stay as strong
But you know sometimes I admit I'll break
Yeah how am I suppose to feel great
Cause I feel bad I ache and I change
I'm so addicted to change I've never stopped to find the real me
Maybe I missed him maybe I resisted or maybe I'm doing it again
Never caring about anything that's my depression
Now anxiety of caring about everything
Maybe one day I can begin to comprehend why I feels this way
For the time being what emotions am I to feel anymore
Yeah my minds spinning
Don't know what I've been feeling yeah
My thoughts got the best of me
Yeah my heart is drifting
Don't know if my love is fading yeah
Emotions got the better me
Yeah
Trying to find the right words to say every time
Yeah searching for the right pace so I'll never sway
Looking for the right way so I won't stray
Look same face every day
Wonder how long I'll be this way
Yeah
Minds spinning
Oh my feelings
What are my thoughts yeah
Yeah hearts drifting
My loves fading
Oh my emotions
What have I become
Yeah
Minds spinning
Oh my feelings
What are my thoughts yeah
Yeah hearts drifting
My loves fading




Oh my emotions
Who am I anymore

I would do anything
To hold on to you
That's just about anything
Until you pull through
I'll hold on to you
Till the stars no longer wink
I'll hold on to you
Till you figure out
Just what to think, 'cause
You're emotion in motion
My magical potion
You're emotion in motion
To me
I would go anywhere
To meet up with you
That's just about anywhere
For one rendezvous
I'll hold on to you
Until the mountains crumble flat
I'll hold on to you
Until you figure out
Just where you're at, 'cause
You're emotion in motion
My magical potion
You're emotion in motion
To me
Yeah
I would do anything
To hold on to you
That's just about anything
That you want me to
I'll hold on to you
Until you take it all in stride
I'll hold on to you
Till you want to stay here
By my side, 'cause
You're emotion in motion
My magical potion
You're emotion in motion
To me
