Emmanuel Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Midstep, mind changed
Heart hurt and chest pains
Mouth moved, but no sound

We'd gave up our ground
Caught it too late now
We're moving on
The cards have been laid down
We’re moving


Oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
And I try to hold back
The hundreds of things I have wanted to ask
And I want it so bad (so bad, so bad)
Yeah, I want it so bad
When you say my name, the way you stare
You play these games, it’s truth or dare
And I want it so bad (so bad, so bad)
Yeah, I want it so bad

[Verse 2]
Chin up, chest out
Feet set, and no doubts
You came and you went
Our time was so ill spent
[Chorus]
And I try to hold back
The hundreds of things I have wanted to ask
And I want it so bad (so bad, so bad)
Yeah, I want it so bad
When you say my name, the way you stare
You play these games, it’s truth or dare
And I want it so bad (so bad, so bad)
Yeah, I want it so bad

[Bridge]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh

[Chorus]
And I try to hold back
The hundreds of things I have wanted to ask
And I want it so bad (so bad, so bad)
Yeah, I want it so bad
When you say my name, the way you stare
You play these games, it’s truth or dare
And I want it so bad (so bad, so bad)
Yeah, I want it so bad

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
