Oh Emerald
I didn´t mean to act this way
I feel numb and dumb
And oh so overcome by the things we say

Oh Emerald
I am not your little boy
Times are tough enough for us to be so rough
Swimming hard against the waves

I don´t mean to act so cruel
And I don´t mean to punish you
Must this be the life we choose
I don´t want to be a slave to you
I just want to be true

Oh Emerald
If you could only see the view from my eyes
Then you´d know how far I´ve gone for you
But you look the other way

But you don´t mean to act so cruel
And I don´t mean to punish you
Must this be the life we choose
I don´t want to be a slave to you
I just want to be true

We don´t mean to act so cruel
And I don´t mean to punish you
Must this be the life we choose
I don´t want to be a slave to you
I just want to be true
