Somebody tell her 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 thinks that 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
Till you're safe and sound, Emily
Somebody tell her she's just fooling herself
She thinks she's 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
Till you're safe and sound, Emily
Burning bright you are
Like a falling star
Emily, leave it with me
Under the stairs, in a box
Till you're safe and sound, Emily
Emily, leave it with me
Under the stairs, in a box
Till you're safe and sound, Emily
Oh, you're safe, Emily
Oh, you're safe, Emily
