Sweet Emily
Burned out and broken
Since that cold September morning
Of last year
Ask and receive
I know you've been waiting for me
We'll go riding in the morning once again
You get up and your limits are stretched thin
And you can't understand
Why I'm asking you for help again
'Cause you're my sweet Emily and now you know it
I know I couldn't always show it
I couldn't always be there
Sweet Emily
Born one April morning
I swore it on your forehead that I'd try
To love and protect you
But I didn't always have to
Still I let you down so many times
I let go I let you fall right through the cracks
And when I tried to get you back
All you saw were broken promises
But you're my sweet Emily and now you know it
I know I couldn't always show it
I couldn't always be there
Sweet Emily
I'm not gone so don't forget me
I'll be right here in the morning when you wake
