Emily
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You never were going to change your mind, were you, Emily?
You just sat back, took it all for you, there was nothing for
me
I didn't mean to prove that all I can do is lose
Next time that you need me, don't call me up, Emily
I'm tired of your lies and your cheating ways with me
And every time you go, please don't let me know
Emily, you still live inside of me
And, Emily, you are the fire in my tree
So if you should fall, please don't call
And next time you write, I won't stay up all night
'Cos Emily you, just look at you - you're a tragedy
You never were going to change you mind, were you, Emily?
You just sat back, took it all for you, and nothing was there
for me
I didn't mean to prove that all I'm good for is to lose
Emily, you still live inside of me
And, Emily, you are the fire in my tree
So next time you fall, please don't call
And next time you write, I won't stay up all night
'Cos Emily you, just look at you - you're a tragedy
