Emancipation Lyrics
You turned the lights off
When you left me
Slammed the front door shut
So I couldn't see
You walking away from me
To be who you wanted to be
To live your life and be free
You'd rather make it on your own
I saw your old friend
Just the other day
Said you were doing fine
Told me to stay away
You didn't want to hear from me
Just want to be who you wanted to be
And live your life without misery
You just wanted to get out alive
On these cold dark nights
Living without you
I can't see myself
Because I feel so blue
I'm like a ghost on a shipwreck
Walking up and down the deck
With a noose hanging around my neck
Waiting to get back to shore
I wish that one day
That I can be free
From these torturous chains
Of pain and misery
I'd rather live my life with you
Than live my life feeling blue
Please take my hand and I'll be true
And I promise not to beat you anymore
You turned the lights off
When you left me
Slammed the front door shut
So I couldn't see
You didn't want to hear from me
Just want to be who you wanted to be
And live your life without misery
You just wanted to get out alive
When you left me
Slammed the front door shut
So I couldn't see
You walking away from me
To be who you wanted to be
To live your life and be free
You'd rather make it on your own
Just the other day
Said you were doing fine
Told me to stay away
You didn't want to hear from me
Just want to be who you wanted to be
And live your life without misery
You just wanted to get out alive
Living without you
I can't see myself
Because I feel so blue
I'm like a ghost on a shipwreck
Walking up and down the deck
With a noose hanging around my neck
Waiting to get back to shore
That I can be free
From these torturous chains
Of pain and misery
I'd rather live my life with you
Than live my life feeling blue
Please take my hand and I'll be true
And I promise not to beat you anymore
When you left me
Slammed the front door shut
So I couldn't see
You didn't want to hear from me
Just want to be who you wanted to be
And live your life without misery
You just wanted to get out alive
