[Chorus]
Did you forget that I've got a thing called emotion?
You live and you let 'til you start to bleed
How would I know? 'Cause you left my wound wide open
Just for how long will you let it bleed? Oh
[Verse 1]
The town we are from, the small-minded talk
We'd sing the songs with the lyrics all wrong
Invested in love but now you feel broke
'Cause shit didn't turn out the way that you hoped
I get that you're hurt 'cause we don't spend time
As much as we used to, but don't we all learn from mistakes?
Mhm
[Chorus]
Did you forget that I've got a thing called emotion?
You live and you let 'til you start to bleed
How would I know? 'Cause you left my wound wide open
Just for how long will you let it bleed?
[Post-Chorus]
Did you know the lies you would feed me
In the end, I'd start to believe them?
Did you forget I've got a thing called emotion?
[Bridge]
Why can't we talk it over?
I just, I just don't get it
Why can't we talk it over?
[Chorus]
Did you forget that I've got a thing called emotion?
You live and you let 'til you start to bleed
How would I know? 'Cause you left my wound wide open
Just for how long will you let it bleed? Oh
[Post-Chorus]
Did you know the lies you would feed me
In the end, I'd start to believe them?
Did you forget I've got a thing called emotion?
Emotion was written by Ali Payami & Astrid S & Jakob Jerlström.
Emotion was produced by Ali Payami.
We had a day in the studio scheduled in March 2017. It was the first time working with Jacob and Ali, and I remember I was a little bit nervous – they’ve made so many great songs!
We talked for a while to get to know each other, and later Ali played me some different tracks that he had been working...
After improvising for a little while, we picked out the melodies we liked the most and that we felt kind of painted the mood I wanted in the song.
We really liked the word “Emotion,” so after we had the melodies we sat down to write the lyrics. We wanted something conversational that said something...
I think we spent about two days in the studio making the demo, track, melody and lyrics. And then we recorded a simple demo vocal. The only thing missing was the bridge/mid8.
In January 2018 I wanted to figure out the mid8. So I sat by a piano, and ended up making 5 different versions with differen...
At the time of writing “Emotion,” I was very tired of constantly going to the studio with new people and writing songs that I didn’t feel like were good enough or sounded like what I imagined in my head, and I felt like I had reached my limit. So after the day we made “Emotion” I was floating on pin...
