Scott Kearns - Emily Gone Lyrics

Many have been with her
None has every stayed
She never relied on them
So she never felt betrayed

She always has been an actor
Always is on a stage
You can read her introduction
But you can't turn the page

Why must I be the one sacrificed
Why must I be the one set free
As you run down your chosen path
Are you sure that you are all that you need

She never is so kind
To keep advice to herself
Compassion is limited
She just cannot care enough

At times she's contemplative
At times she just runs wild
You aren't sure with whom you're dealing
A woman or a child

She has to keep her distance
She won't be there in the end
She's free to always be your lover
But she'll never be your friend

I know you have to go
I know your bags are packed
I'd say I'd wait for you
But I know you won't be back

Why must I be the one sacrificed
Why must I be the one set free
As you run down your chosen path
Are you sure that you are all that you need
