The Song lyrics
by Joe Iconis
[JOE]
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 f*cking 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
