Dear Emily

Dear Emily, leave me alone

You keep on crashing my plans and making me choke

You′re staying up late and bending my thoughts

Convincing me everything's something they′re not

Dear Emily, you're hurting my head

Squeezing so tight that my fingers are red

You pull me this way and that way and drag me around

I just need a second, you're getting too loud

I empty my head, it gets lighter and lighter

I get up my hopes, they go higher and higher

Then you come and you rain on my parade

And that′s the end of the world again

Dear Emily, you don′t understand

Not every good thing will go right to plan

There's disappointment, resentment, and scams

You′d be better off staying on land

Dear Emily, don't be so dumb

They don′t really want you the way that you want

He doesn't feel the way he says he does

Nobody loves you the way that you love

I empty my head, it gets lighter and lighter

I get up my hopes, they go higher and higher

Then you come and you rain on my parade

And that′s the end of the world again

Emily, we both know you start the fires

And Emily, you know that I'm not a crier

But Emily, I feel my chest getting tighter

And Emily, let me be, God, I'm so tired

Emily, we both know you start the fires

And Emily, you know that I′m not a crier

But Emily, I feel my chest getting tighter

And Emily, let me be, God, I′m so tired
