Anymore Lyrics
Waiting for the day that she knew would surely come
Tied bows in her hair, dressed as she thought you'd like
But as time ticked away, promises fade one by one
Made it through on her own
Now strong enough to see
That you've been where you want to be
I will not let you define
Everything I am by one thing that I don't have
'Cause I'm more than that
I will not be made to hide
These tears won't fall for you this time
I will not be ashamed of my name anymore
The emptiness inside that made you miss her life
The ocean's widen with all your silence
Leaves the daydreams behind, childish fantasies unwind
Take the bows from her hair
She's been waiting twenty years
I will not let you define
Everything I am by one thing that I don't have
Cause I'm more than that
I will not be made to hide
These tears won't fall for you this time
I will not be ashamed of my name anymore
Emmy Rossum is SUPER talented!!!! I think this song is definately about abondonment from a parent and how the child (now grown) has given up on hope and refuses to have to fdamily name bring her down... thats just one girls opinion! cheers -m
I agree about the meaning of this song. Since Emmy never had a father, I definately believe this is about her father never wanting to come home and meet his daughter (another clue about that is the name part) and how she has grown up and realized she cannot let it hinder her any longer.
I agree with that meaning. I think she used to long for her father to come back but now she's realized that she doesn't need his approval.
BRILLIANT song either way.
omg. o_o this is SO my song now. lol
anyway, it means the same to me too. parent abandonement issues. yep. that's me. lmao.
fucking beautiful. omg
The strings in this song are just gorgeous. Such a beautiful song.
