Emily

Oh, Emily, I believe there ain't much of nothing
That we can change in this world
Except for our own mind and heart
To be more kind and brave in the face of it all
Everyone feels like the victim inside
Full of pride, ever righteous and true
And don't we all get offended when things just don't bend in
The way we're convinced they should do?
Emily, I believe there's not a single mind
That you will change in the end
Except for your own one, and once you have grown some
This song might make sense to you then
See, everyone's frightened inside, we tend to hide
From ourselves as we put up our wall
And no, you will never make anyone better
By shouting them down at the mall
Emily, I can see, deep down, we both agree
Everyone just wants to be loved
But our soul's never free from the burden to be
Uncorrupted when push comes to shove

Oh, Emily, I believe there ain't much of nothing
That we can change in this world
Except for our own mind and heart
To be more kind and brave in the face of it all
Except for our own mind and heart
To be more kind and brave in the face of it all
