Emily
Robin Zander Lyrics

She's got trouble running through her veins
She is facing some serious problems in her life

She's got a sickness, I'd better wash my hands
She might have some toxic behaviour patterns and I should avoid them

She's got evil in the back of her mind
She has some dark thoughts that she could act upon

She could put the fear of God into the eyes of the blind
She is powerful and could make people scared of her

All alone
You are by yourself

You don't have to stay
You have the option to leave

Now I know just why you feel like crying
I understand what's been troubling you and why it's making you emotional

Emily I, didn't know (you were daddy's girl)
I didn't know that your relationship with your father had that much of an impact on you

Emily I, didn't know (such a sad little girl)
I didn't know that you were going through so much emotional pain

He stayed inside and hurt you so bad
Your father's actions caused you a lot of harm

All of your love oh baby I want it back
I miss the love that we had before things got complicated

There's a snake crawling in the grass
There is someone nearby who cannot be trusted

There's a rotten apple in a barrel, better watch your ass
There is someone in our group that is causing harm and we need to protect ourselves

She got hungry, full of dirty ideas
She became greedy and had some immoral thoughts

And a mouthful of garbage, not too much between her ears
She talks nonsense and doesn't have much intelligence

Do you want to stay?
Are you okay with staying in this situation?

He stuck inside and won't let go
Your father's influence on you is still strong

Only a child, a little baby how could you know?
You were innocent and could not have understood what was happening at the time

Well you don't have to stay
You have the freedom to leave if you want to

Why lay awake?
Why are you troubling yourself over this?

All of your life how could you know?
You couldn't have predicted how things would unfold

All your love, all your life, all you want, is coming back
You want the love and happiness that you had in your earlier life to return to you

Coming back, hey-hey!
It will return to you soon!
