Dear Emily Lyrics by Emei

Scatterbrain (Deluxe)

2023

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
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
