Emily

Got washed up in this sleepy town
Like a stone in the bed of a river
Nestled between the day and the dream
All folding into each other
I've sang my heart out in every bar
And not one soul did I move
'Til a single tear from those charcoal eyes
Had me struck down like a fool

Don't break your heart
Don't break your heart over me
Don't break your heart
Emily
Don't go breaking your heart over me

Restless feet on an empty street
A new sun in a crawling yellow
Reflections I see of a younger me
Left hidden in a grave so shallow
Spent my nights on my own searching for my truth
Tell me what good did that do?
Oh the road less travelled is a sparrows song
That cuts to the soul of you

Don't break your heart
Don't break your heart over me
Don't break your heart
Emily
Don't go breaking your heart over me

Like paper to flame
These callused old hands are no match for your porcelain skin
Oh and I fail to see, what you're seeing in me
But may my words get swept with the wind

Don't break your heart
Don't break your heart over me
Don't break your heart
Emily
Don't go breaking your heart over me
