Somebody tell her that she can't carry it all
It's getting hard to pretend we're not watching her fall
Why does she always give more than she's got
She think the world's gonna stop but it's not
She's letting everything in
Trouble is that it's gotta come out
Emily, leave it with me
Under the stairs in a box
'til your safe an' sound, Emily
Somebody tell her she's just fooling herself
She thinks she's just fighting the shadow of somebody else
Doesn't she notice how much she's lost
It's like she's nailing herself to a cross
Listen to me this is crazy
It's all got to stop
Emily, leave it with me
Under the stairs in a box
'til your safe an' sound, Emily
Burning bright you are
Like a falling star
Emily, leave it with me
Under the stairs in a box
'til your safe an' sound, Emily
