Try to live like this forever
Love my mom and not upset her
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
Love my mom and not upset her
Even my ambition had
To write itself in black
And helped my mother sleep at night
But everything to everyone
To you wasn't enough
I could, too
Emmylou
I understand how I could be
A terrible example when
I take my own advice
And I am not the enemy
So why did I design for you
A face to place your sympathy?
But nothing that could seem to be
I know this from the agony
Because I don't know how
And maybe with coincidence
But I don't believe in heaven
So I have to have you now
I could, too
