Emily (feat. The Staves) Lyrics

Mikaela Davis Emily (feat. The Staves)

[Verse 1]
When your heart control you it strangles up your mind
There's a haze above you and glaze over your eyes
It's the place you flee to when you want to run and hide
Sit by yourself, losing track of time

[Chorus]
Emily, won't you let me in?
Unlock the door, maybe I can be your friend

[Verse 2]
All those years of heartache would've turned me into stone
I can see why you might wanna be left on your own
Maybe when you're older it won't cut you like a knife
But it's not my place to tell you how to live your life

[Chorus]
Emily, won't you let me in?
Unlock the door, maybe I can be your friend

[Bridge]
Yours is a leaf worth turning over
But I'm not trying to be your lover
Just another shoulder to cry on

[Chorus]
Emily, won't you let me in?
Unlock the door, maybe I can be your friend
Oh Emily, won't you let me in?
Put down your gun, don't you let this be the end
