This is fresh Ink, the idea just popped in out of nowhere:)
Thought I would just post it since I have not posted anything in ages, comments-crits and suggestions welcomed!-Dana

This was wrote with a female Contemporary Country Singer in mind.
Mid to uptempo. Thanks:)


Emergency

He was standing in the front door
With a bag of his clothes
Wearing a frown
I was feeling like a tight rope
Walking out was my hope
Leaving me doubts…

He said I know your cheating
Ain’t no faith left believing we can turn this around
Then a shot rang out….

Chorus

We’ve got an Emergency
We’ve got a heart down and it’s starting to bleed
Can somebody please
Dial that 911
Cause I’m starting to think
I was wrong about him being wrong about me
We’ve got another man down
All because of me…

The words I yelled hit him like a slug
I’m sorry won’t patch him up
I’m losing him fast…

If I could take them back I’d
Take em fast-er than this ambulance
Can carry my soul…

I said the only one I’m cheating is myself
For not believing that you were the one..

Chorus repeats

Bridge:

We’re both in intensive care
It’s touch and go
Straight from here
Want you to know
I’ll always be there

Chorus

Cancel that Emergency
He’s had a change of heart
And the Surgeon was me
Can somebody please
Give him room to move
Cause he’s starting to breathe
Yeah I was wrong about him being wrong about me
I’ve got my Man down
And I’ll never leave
