Thirsty Merc - Emancipate Myself lyrics
[Thirsty Merc - Emancipate Myself lyrics]
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
When 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
Floatin' around for the tension
And release time
To even out between two people
Like you and me
And I've been thinking and
Since we've broken up
I've 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
And now I'm stuck in a moment
It's bad for my health well, 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
And I'm just 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 think about and do
Is filtered through that
But I don't wanna make you unhappy
Or jealous in any way
Because ultimately in life 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 well, 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 set me free
Alright
I've gotta get myself out of this thing
If it's the last thing I ever do
So whatcha gonna do now?
What, you gonna keep me
Hanging on or something, are you?
You gonna keep me hanging on?
You gonna keep me hanging on?
You gonna keep me hanging on?
Gonna keep me hanging on?
Gonna keep me hanging on?
'Cos I have a feeling it's
All in my own mind
And if I have anything to do with it
Knowing me
I enjoy putting myself through this kind
Of trauma to a degree how 'bout you?
Thought so
Maybe you shouldn't call me anymore
'Cause I need some time to
Get to know myself again
Then once again we say it's final
Then I'm gonna miss you even more
Even the most
I don't want you to know
That I'm missing you
Yeah let's establish even more
Of a communication breakdown
And then wonder why later on
All the honesty and trust is gone between us
Now I'm stuck in a moment
It's bad for my health well, 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 got to get out
Well this thing's been going
On for too long, baby
(Now I'm stuck in a moment)
And I've got to do something
For myself for a while
(It's bad for my health)
'Cause you've been treating me so bad
For so long (Well, I'm gone)
And it just can't go on, it can't go on
(If I don't emancipate myself)
Well I don't want you calling
Me on the telephone
(There's no spirit to find me)
And I don't wanna see your face no more
(And no wishing well)
Yeah, that's right (Well, I'm gone)
I couldn't really care
(If I don't emancipate myself)
You go your way, I'll go mine
