Emancipate Myself

Thirsty Merc

Every breath you t-



As if I'd sing that song to you,

you probably think you deserve it at the present time

But if only you knew how you treated me

when we were together then you might understand



Remember the time you made me wait for a month

cos you had exams which I was cool about

but then the night you finished

you barred me from all your plans

and you went out with other people



Now I'll always give you the benefit of the doubt

and I think there's enough natural maturity floating around

for the tension release time to even out between two people like you and me



But I've been thinking and since we broke up

I realised things were mostly in your favour

and a normal person wouldn't put up with this

but for some stupid reason I don't wanna move on



Now I'm stuck in a moment

It's bad for my health

Now I'm gone

If I don't emancipate myself



Now I gotta say that all of this is coming down on me like a tonne of bricks

at this present time, I don't have much cash, I'm trying to figure out the rest of my life



But I think a lot of people would agree that all you need is a feeling of freedom

and when you're in emotional limbo, everything you do is filtered through that



Now I don't wanna punish or make you unhappy or jealous in any way or hurt you

because ultimately in time it's your own choice who you surround yourself with,

and I'm responsible for those things too



And I've treated people badly at times in relationships

and maybe what you're doing is some kind of payback for all those past lives,

but that also doesn't change the fact that



Now I'm stuck in a moment

It's bad for my health

Now I'm gone

If I don't emancipate myself

There's no spirit to find me

And no wishing well

Well I'm gone

If I don't emancipate myself



So whatcha gonna do now

You gonna keep me hangin
