ESMERALDA

[Verse 1]
I think feelings are for the brave
Could never face to face
I never lost feelings for you, just hid them away
Swimming in my shame
Please don’t vilify
I went to bed with pools in my eyes, crying every night (my eyes)
Right in front my face
Hiding from the pain (yeah)
My plight, my mistake
Give love another try
You don’t need to do life alone
Trust me, I have tried (yeah)
17 years I’ve lasted, baby
Sadness was a blight

[Chorus]
Esmeralda, I can do much better
Pleasе give me another chancе, yeah
Save my soul, oh
Baby, save my soul
(Let ‘em know)
Esmeralda, I can do much better
Please give me another chance, yeah
Save my soul, oh
Baby, save my soul
(Let her know)

[Bridge]
It's been a couple days since your name’s been on my cell phone
In denial, lost that trial, I think I’m gonna self loath
I’m gonna lose her to the world if I’m not careful (not careful)
It's been a couple days since your name’s been on my cell phone
In denial, I lost that trial, I think I’m gonna self loath
I’m gonna lose her to the world if I’m not careful (not careful)

[Chorus]
Esmeralda, I can do much better
Please give me another chance, yeah
Save my soul, oh
Baby, save my soul
Esmeralda-
Please give me another chan-
Save my soul, oh
Baby, save my-
(Let her know)

[Verse 2]
Esmeralda
I promise I change
You and I on a scale of one to ten were minimum wage
Why let that go to waste?
There must be a reason, girl please explain
Loneliness an ugly state, I don’t miss the taste
Were we just a phase?
I loved you, could you say the same?
Esmeralda, I’m calling out your name
Promise I can change, I promise I can change (Esmeralda)
