lyrics

Emmanuel was friend of mine,
and a little bit more from time to time.
But love like that, you best forget.

Now he's got a wife and a couple of kids.
He's got a house in the San Francisco hills.
And I'm still stuck in regret.

Pre-Chorus:
Oh, Emmanuel.
Let's not kid ourselves.

Chorus:
We knew right from the start
There's no way in hell
I knew deep in my heart
This is never gonna end well.
(Repeat)

But it's the nights like these
I need
Emmanuel.

Verse Two:
Now lately, it has occurred to me,
That I never once loved him faithfully.
But I never once thought that he'd just get up and leave.

And as selfish as I'm about to sound,
I still have to admit, I never hit the ground.
I never thought he could ever love someone
The way he loved me.

Pre-Chorus:
And so, Emmanuel,
I kid myself.

Chorus:
Cause I knew right from the start,
there's no way in hell.
I knew deep in my heart
this is never gonna end well.

(repeat)
Oh, but it's on nights like these
I need Emmanuel.

Outro:
Sweet Sorrow
Loverman's gone now.
Sweet sorrow, Emmanuel.

Sweet Sorrow
Loverman's gone now.

Sweet Sorrow
Loverman's gone now.
Sweet sorrow, Emmanuel.

Sweet Sorrow
Loverman's
Gone
Gone
