Old lyrics, new music

[martin6]

Wow this song is 3.5 years old! Yeah it's really about a girl I knew/dated. Not named Emily.

Emily

I passed the diner, saw you sitting alone
Staring into space, playing with your cell phone
Should you call and say you’re sorry
Or would you rather just yell at me?

So I walked on by out to the fountain
Where I kissed you first and you gave me that grin
Three years gone by and we both aren’t the same
So its best to leave and stop playing this game

I tried so hard
To make things right
But things don’t quite
Work out as they might
In our dreams

I tried so hard
To make it right
But now I’ve lost
This epic fight
Emily

Do you ever think how it could have been
Instead of slamming doors if we kept them open?
But we locked ourselves in the darkest room
And my discontent started to bloom

Now I want to get out by myself
But you want me here all to yourself
The times we’ve had I’d never trade them for gold
But you’re not the one with whom I want to grow old

I tried so hard
To make it right
But I could not
Try as I might
Recently

I tried so hard
To make things right
But now I’m lost
I’m out of sight
Emily
