Emily Williamson - Nobody's Home lyrics

[Chorus : Emily Williamson & Curtis Mayfield] Everybody get around and listen to my song I've only got one [Verse 1] Hey grandpa I left a picture on your grave but I'm not sure you saw it Just saying your grandson is grown now, ain't he ? Taller than his other brother, we had a hard time admitting Sometimes I walk by your house and I reminisce The wooden garage, the kangaroo prints in the alley My heart falling into the darkest valley But, I don't wanna talk about it, or should we ? Say that I wanted to die so bad, I'm sorry Crying like that was fifty years ago But losing you keeps me in yesterday's sorrow And I'm sorry, I couldn't pull myself together Cried like a baby and still doing it but whatever You made me a better person and I took the chance Too bad you had to leave me to make me change Nah I didn't change, it all changed around me Blinded by darkness, joy wasn't far but I couldn't see [Chorus : Emily Williamson & Curtis Mayfield] Everybody get around and listen to my song I've only got one [Verse 2] Hey grandma I saw you in my dreams again, just like yesterday Every day is the same, grey blood runs in my veins The truth is I hate to see you again Because everything I do reminds me of the pain But I close my eyes hoping I'll come back to that dream So we'll sit at the same table and talk about it And I'll tell you how I feel about you I'll tell you how I'm feeling about letting you go How I smiled at you on saturday, turned my back And saw you crying because you knew I know I failed you, I failed school Wanted to be like you, but couldn't do it Wanted you to stay, I looked at you and smiled Just letting you know it's okay you let go It's all good, we love you, I'm just wondering why You left us and now our lives are gone bad and wild [Chorus : Emily Williamson & Curtis Mayfield] Everybody get around and listen to my song I've only got one [Verse 3] Had conversation with God but he ain't been replying much I thought he could help, thought he had the midas touch They said you'll get over it in less than a year Bro it's been three and I'm still here I've been to church today but nobody's home Yes God left me, or did I leave him alone? Lately I've been living life in slo mo With my friend alcohol but really in solo I wanna live but I can't seem to finish the checklist Emily do you want to die alone or die the greatest ? I need religion man, I wanna be god's witness With closed eyes, I can't die now, need a few minutes To tell you hate is powerful and you shouldn't use it To tell Alicia, Nina and Mom thanks to you I made it To tell doctors I'm mad but you'll be forgiven To tell me I got the finger on the trigger and I shouldn't pull it [Chorus : Emily Williamson & Curtis Mayfield] Everybody get around and listen to my song I've only got one [Outro] *Girl sobbing* *Gunshot sound*
