Emancipate Myself

Transcribed: 14th March 2004 Notes: The verse part might not be spot on, but it sounds close. Catchy song - hopefully it'll do well for the band. Comments & corrections welcome.

Thought so Maybe you shouldn't call me anymore because I need some time to get to know myself again, and once again we say it's final then I'm gonna miss you even more, even the most, yeah, But I don't want you to know that I'm missing you yeah let's establish even more communication breakdown and wonder why later on all the honesty and trust is gone between us Now I'm stuck in a moment It's bad for my health Well I'm gone If I don't emancipate myself There's no spirit to find me And no wishing well Well I'm gone If I don't emancipate myself
