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
