Giving Myself Away Lyrics

In background - "Do what I have to" 

 Remember Emily?

 [In background - "That's a long time" 2x]

 In a long dress one summers day she said yes

 Now every special requests requires another

 So many times it feels endless, a big yes

 Branded red on each breast

 But she selfless out there 

 Doing her best strangest scene

 Nobody seemed to be impressed.

 The more she do for this fool 

 The more she behind schedule

 Had no fun for so long 

 Old records turned her onto High School flings

 And she was full of daring 

 

 Colorful hair used to wear thirteen rings 

 Now she staring gludgery

 Full in the face and accepts it as her place

 And just incase there's anything she missed, 

 She recheck the list

 Does it over again, 

 To make sure it's spotless. 

 

 Jimmy longed for how it used to be, 

 She was viscous and volatile 

 She was feisty, iced tea was the tipple never asked nicely,

 Her lips used to Curl down ever so slightly, impolite, 

 Fire burned bright behind the Oakley, 

 We just had to get to grips. 

 

 After a few long sipped juice begin to lose flavour, 

 She no longer gets to savor being consumed.

 Jimmy sleeps drunk in the other room still in his shoes

 Escaping head long into the booze, 

 The whole house vibrating with the changes of moods. 

 

 From feisty she turned into being nice to me 

 In the old days he'd of been wearing Ice T, 

 Jimmy Cradles times return, 

 She was fine and so beautifully unconcerned. 

 

 Jimmy Told her on the day he quit 

 You don't love me you love the relationship 

 

 Me? 

 I'm the prodeney product of Misogheny, 

 Jimmy and Emily Harmogeny 

 They promised me nothing but honesty, 

 And that's all I got, 

 I could never be the cement in their destiny, 

 They still haven't forgiven me, 

 You know my own woman is leaving me 

 Said she stopped believing me, 

 Cant even see what she saw in me, 

 I told my woman she was beautiful, 

 She didn't believe, 

 Convinced herself I was preparing to leave, 

 So she took my son and left the world free. 

 

 I told my woman she was beautiful Ten Times a Day, 

 Ten Times a Day she would Smile, and look away. 

 

 I end up throwing my love down a bottomless pit.

 And giving myself away...
