“Sorry Gemma”
Verse 1
I stole you, but not from the night
I got you with my charm, you weren’t so bright
I stole you from the airport, away from your family
I didn’t mean to betray you, but I just had to drug you
You were mad, tried to get away
I try to forget that day,
You tried to hurt yourself,
Get sent away,
Now you’re a castaway
(Chorus)
Come back Gemma, I didn’t mean it
Be careful don’t go to the Separates,
Sorry, Gemma, I’ll be back soon
You have to understand, I love you
Verse 3
Were in the desert,
Somewhere hot and safe
Don’t worry I’m not a total nutcase
I grew up here,
But when things got bad,
They stole me away,
I wasn’t glad
(Chorus)
Come back Gemma, I didn’t mean it
Be careful don’t go to the Separates,
Sorry, Gemma, I’ll be back soon
You have to understand, I love you
Verse 4
You tried to run,
Out towards the Sun,
But I let you,
Figured you’d come back,
But you were strong,
I underestimated you.
I had to round you up,
You just let me,
Realizing there was nowhere to go,
You put up a fight though,
I’ll show you, this place’s beauty
Just give me your hand, and let me hold it.
(Chorus)
Come back Gemma, I didn’t mean it
Be careful don’t go to the Seperates,
Sorry, Gemma, I’ll be back soon
You have to understand, I love you
Verse 5
Dear Gemma, what did you do?
Laying on the ground, should I go near you?
You got bit, right on your leg
I tried to protect you.
We were getting close now, but now you’re so far away.
Maybe I will see you again some day.
I took you in, got you help.
I’ll see you in court dear, no need to be in fear.
(Chorus) x 2
Come back Gemma, I didn’t mean it
Be careful don’t go to the Seperates,
Sorry, Gemma, I’ll be back soon
You have to understand, I love you
