Emma Freeman - Proper Words Lyrics

You burned the city down to ashes from your heat within
Jumping over fires with my shirt tucked in
Following you always from a distance
You pointed out the emeralds that flickered in my dizzy eyes
Lips stained red with strawberry wine
I know I'll never make you mine
Leaving so soon? You just got in
Always find you when I'm done looking
If I could find the proper words
I'd tell you everything, I'd tell you everything
But I am lying when I say that this is fine
That we're just friends and nothing more
What am I lying for?
Don't always hear the meaning of the things you're talking about
Staring at the words as they shape on your mouth
You push your hair, reveal your blouse
A certain melody in the breaths you take
The lingering smell of daylight when you walk away
The beauty of it makes my heart ache
If I could find the proper words
I'd tell you everything, I'd tell you everything
But I am lying when I say that this is fine
That I'm okay with nothing more
What am I fighting for?
I don't wanna leave, don't wanna fall asleep
Having you here laying next to me
So close I can feel your heartbeat
Icy cold, your touch it burns
Dead skin cells they crave for more
Don't it feel good, don't it feel good, don't it
If I could find the proper words
I'd tell you everything, I'd tell you everything
But I am lying when I say that this is fine
That we're just friends and nothing more
What am I lying for?
That I'm okay with nothing more
What am I fighting for?
