Curbside Goodbye - Emery + Lyrics

This is the 2nd song from Emery's "...In Shallow Seas We Sail"

(c) by Tooth & Nail Records

Youve buried me here
And I cant turn off my eyes, only sinking.
Youve hidden the keys to sleep.
The sweet careful lines weve crossed
And now we never can go back.

This is what I felt, just being myself,
But I know that you wouldnt stay.
Standing at my car with my reasons spent,
As you drove and made your escape.
The silence crushing me, like I swore it would,
And Im left watching...

Red lights fading out
(I refuse to accept these excuses youre making)
As you drive back to your house
(To save yourself from taking blame the only reason that you came at all).

Im here sinking and now we never can go back.

I chose every word that I knew would hurt but that was a poor choice at best.
This weak disguise, your careless replies that you made at my expense.
You swore this was right,
It was better that youre leaving but Im here with...

Red lights fading out
(I refuse to accept these excuses youre making)
As you drive back to your house
(To save yourself from taking blame the only reason that you came at all)
And Im here with my curbside goodbye.
This sting in my eyes wont leave me tonight
As I stay awake to watch the day start without you.

Im here sinking, now we can never go back.
My foundation crippled and cracked.
Broken, severed, bleed out the hurt.
Two people dissolve into words.

Red lights fading out as you drive back to your house.

The way Ive gone a hundred times before,
But now Im left behind to make all of this make sense.
And now your voice is haunting me,
Just out of reach, it buries me.
Is this the better off that you meant?
The way Ive gone a hundred times before,
But now Im left behind to make all of this make sense.
And now your voice is haunting me,
Just out of reach, it buries me,
It buries me

Im here sinking, we never can go back.
