[English]

Sweet Emily, my bride to be

Just how long will you stand next to me?

For we both know, it's more than a load

For you to bear

It'd break my heart but I'd understand if you'd

Leave me for another man with a little

Less on his mind, less on his plate

Less in his brain

Please do not lean on me, I'm unstable

You're all you need, I've seen it, you're able

Please do not lean on me, I'm unstable

You're all you need, I've seen it, you're able

Sex in the air, deep in despair

Could you please act like you're unaware?

But we both know I'm just a dog chasin' his bone

Please understand, I'm just a man that's nearly figured out his master plan

Just stick around and you gon' see

I'm worth every pound

Please do not lean on me, I'm unstable

You're all you need, I've seen it, you're able

Please do not lean on me, I'm unstable

You're all you need, I've seen it, you're able

...

The more that we both try to fight it

The harder it's gon' be

I wish that we could stand united, instead we're crumblin'

I know that you gon' always love me

In spite of things you've seen

In spite of things you've heard me say

No matter how obscene

If I am the sky (if I am the sky, if I am the sky), you are the sea

Starin' back at me... (Me...)

If I am the sky (if I am the sky, if I am the sky), you are the sea

Starin' back at me... (Me...)

If I am the sky (if I am the sky, if I am the sky), you are the sea

Starin' back at me... (Me...)

...
