EMERGENCY CONTACT
BY NIKKI FORBES
V1
On the edge of something good
You knew me better than I ever thought you could
I was so vulnerable
Trusted you with it all
My heart, my love, my life
PC 1
Far away from home
And I thought you were there for me
I was in so deep
I was all alone
You left me stranded
Heartless leaving me abandoned
PC 2
Said you were there to protect me
Promised you were my safety
Then where were you?
Where were you?
Chorus
Serious as a heart attack
Didn’t think it was too much to ask
Never thought you wouldn’t have my back when
When I made you my emergency contact
My emergency contact
When it all went down
You couldn’t be found
When it all went down
V2
You really had me convinced
That you would be there and care
It’s something you wouldn't miss
I’d push and you’d pull away
Had to beg for your time of day
You never do what you say
I was so vulnerable
Trusted you with it all
My heart, my love, my life
PC 2
Chorus 2
Serious as a heart attack
Didn’t think it was too much to ask
Should’ve known you wouldn’t have my back
When I made you my emergency contact
My emergency contact
Where were you?
When it all went black
You didn’t bother to ask
If I made it out alright
If I made it out alive
When it all went black
You were my emergency contact
