(emily) Lyrics

I hope that you are

But I don't know that you are

Gave you a name for a start

Just between you and me

And the dark

Emily

So I tell you my worst secret

And you say that you will keep it

Like a locket

When you forget my face

Reach for that chain around your neck

Remember my flaws and

Paint in all the rest

Emily

And I tell you my whole history

You say it's nice to know and

It don't matter to me

Emily

But what if I misstated in summarizing

So fixated on a love of my own devising

Is it better to revise and regret when you recall

Than have to realize you never had a hope at all

Emily

What if you know me and hate what you find

I couldn't take that a second time

Emily

Leave me be
