Emily
Mitch Jones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Her name was Emily
She touched my heart, you see
She made me feel like I'm alive
I do not know why
It's like every time
I see you, I feel I could die
Well, you broke my heart
On that night

I saw you on his shoulder, baby
Yeah, all the lies you told me lately
I saw you on his shoulder, baby
Yeah, all the lies you told me

Now my heart is broken
The way she made me feel
So empty on the inside
I don't know if I'm real
Emily, you broke me
My soul, it's turned to dust
Yeah, all this time I waited
This pain, it hurts so much

I saw you on his shoulder, baby
Yeah, all the lies you told me lately
I saw you on his shoulder, baby
Yeah, all the lies you told me

Yeah, you broke my heart on that night
I do not know if this all will heal in time
Emily, why can't you be mine?
Broke my heart to see you with that guy
Well, you broke my heart
On that night

I saw you on his shoulder, baby
Yeah, all the lies you told me lately




I saw you on his shoulder, baby
Yeah, all the lies you told me
