Emerald Lyrics

Oh EmeraldI didn't mean to act this wayI feel numb and dumbAnd oh so overcome by the things we sayOh EmeraldI am not your little boyTimes are tough enough for us to be so roughSwimming hard against the wavesI don't mean to act so cruelAnd I don't mean to punish youMust this be the life we chooseI don't want to be a slave to youI just want to be trueOh EmeraldIf you could only see the view from my eyesThen you'd know how far I've gone for youBut you look the other wayBut you don't mean to act so cruelAnd I don't mean to punish youMust this be the life we chooseI don't want to be a slave to youI just want to be trueWe don't mean to act so cruelAnd I don't mean to punish youMust this be the life we chooseI don't want to be a slave to youI just want to be true
