lyrics

LOVE // in progress

Verse 1
He doesn’t love anymore
He doesn’t love anymore
He took his things and he walked out the door
He doesn’t love me anymore

Verse 2
She left yesterday
She bought a ticket and she flew away
She said that she’d stay, suddenly she had no more to say
Now she’s gone away
She left yesterday

Chorus
What is a love
The kind of love that leaves you weak
What is a love
A love that makes it hard to speak
What is a love
That lifts you up to let you down
I don’t want that now

Verse 3
Feel like a stranger in this space (space)
Starting to feel like I’m out of place (out of place)
You got me thinking, that I could be erased
Now I’m out of place
I’m running out of space

Chorus
What is a love
The kind of love that leaves you weak
What is a love
A love that makes it hard to speak
What is a love
That lifts you up to let you down

OUTRO
What is a love
Leaves in then night without a sound
What is a love (love)
Builds a home just to burn it to the ground
What is a love (love)
Makes you stranger in your hometown
I don’t want that now
No

What about a love
That puts both feet on the ground
What about a love
That makes you sing out loud
What about a love
That has your back when you’re falling down

about

Emily Best image

Emily Best Vancouver, British Columbia

A singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Vancouver B.C., Emily Best’s distinctive melodies and orchestral leanings paint a backdrop that intermingles the driving energy of jazz and rock with the familiar nostalgia of 1960's southern country-soul. Her songwriting delves unassumingly through jazz, pop, folk and rock with earnest lyricism that ponders the human condition. ... more
