It doesn't feel right
It doesn't feel good
And I do not have a better reason
Though I know I should

Things are just weird
There's a definite strain
Words don't come easy for me
I can't really explain

She says how could you leave me this way?
I say I have nothing more to say
She says what you've done to me is wrong
It's been your fault along
And don't you goddamn write a song about me

And I say I won't
I say I won't
I promise I won't

But if I did
Would you be mad?
Even if it focused on the good times we had

She says you've got no heart
She says you've got no soul
I say I do, they're just hard to control
'Cuz in a couple months time
I might understand what went through rhyme
She says your brain is what is wrong
Now I know it won't be long before you goddamn write your song about me

But I'm begging you please
It's who I am
It's the only way
That I can express
That I can express all the things I wish I could say

She says I don't care
If you can't or you can
If you can't say it to my face
Then you're no kind of man

So then I say fine
If you demand
That I change who I am
Then I understand

And as I walk out the door with no shame
She says hey
At least change my fucking name

When you goddamn write your song
When you goddamn write your song
When you goddamn write your song about me
I say I promise that it's true
I swear it girl, I do
I won't write about you, Emily
