Try to live like this forever Love my mom and [?] Even my ambition had To write itself in black Yeah, I know, it sounded right And helped my mother sleep at night But everything to everyone To you wasn't enough You could see through I could, too Emmylou All the love I have in me I understand how I could be A terrible example when I take my own advice I am not the victim, here And I am not the enemy So why did I design for you A face to place your sympathy? I'll do any fantasy But nothing that could seem to be I know this from the agony Because I don't know how I believe in common sense And maybe with coincidence But I don't believe in heaven So I have to have you now You could see through I could, too Emmylou
