Lyrics: Ellie Banke
Music: Charlie Reichert Powell/Ellie Banke
[Verse 1]
I'm holed up inside of this house
Ain't no way I'm getting out
I claw my hands at the stone
Built this place at seven years old
Nice age to do what you're told
Subconscious constantly berating me
And all that it's left me
Is ****ing lonely
I just need someone to hold me
[Pre-Chorus]
Emily, oh, Emily
Oh, Emily, oh, Emily
[Chorus]
Why am I afraid
How'd I get this way
La-di-da-di-da-di-da-di-da-di-dee
Tell me Emily am I an oddity
Oh, ooh, what does healing take
Can I take a break
La-di-da-di-da-di-da-di-da-di-dee
Tell me Emily, am I the enemy?
The enemy
[Verse 2]
Do you think I chose my fate
Do you think I wanted it this way
Do you think that there is anybody to blame except me
Gotta place blame where blame is due
Ain't nobody quite do it like you
Rewriting my mind
Inside and outside and again and again
And I don't wanna pick up my pen
Don't wanna pick up my pen
I don't wanna do it again
But you said to get it out of my head
Get it out of my head, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Emily, oh, Emily
Oh, Emily, oh
Oh, Emily, oh, Emily, Yeah
[Chorus]
Why am I afraid
How'd I get this way
La-di-da-di-da-di-da-di-da-di-dee
Tell me Emily, am I an oddity?
Oh, ooh, what does healing take?
Can I take a break?
La-di-da-di-da-di-da-di-da-di-dee
Tell me Emily, am I the enemy?
The enemy
[Post-Chorus]
Tell me Emily, tell me Emily, tell me Emily
Tell me Emily, tell me Emily, tell me Emily
Tell me Emily, tell me Emily, tell me Emily
Tell me Emily, tell me Emily, tell me Emily
Tell me Emily, tell me Emily, oh, ooh
[Bridge]
Emily, oh, Emily
Oh, Emily, oh, Emily
Oh, tell me Emily
Oh, tell me Emily
Oh, tell me, oh, tell me Emily
Oh, tell me Emily, oh, tell me
Tell me Emily
Tell me, tell me Emily, oh
Tell me Emily
[Chorus]
Why am I afraid
How'd I get this way
La-di-da-di-da-di-da-di-da-di-dee
Tell me Emily am I an oddity
Oh, what does healing take
Can I take a break
La-di-da-di-da-di-da-di-da-di-dee
Tell me Emily am I the enemy
The enemy
