Emily (Rough Mix) Lyrics
It was the worst thing
That I'd ever done
It was a headshot
You know, you gave me the gun
Oh, please, just hide me now
I won't tell a soul
It was the worst part
You did to this little girl
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, please, don't leave me now
Baby, please, don't go away
[Chorus]
Emily, you're far from home
And, Emily, we'll figure
If I could figure it out
We'll both now be free
Emily, come home
[Verse 2]
It was the last time
I saw her alive
Sometimes, you do things
You need to do to survive
Oh, please, don't leave me now
I'll miss you so much
Oh, please, don't go away
I'm needing your touch
But please don't leave me now
Baby, please don't go away
[Chorus]
Emily, you're far from home
And, Emily, we'll figure
If I could figure it out
We'll both now be free
Emily, come home
[Bridge]
Come home, come home, come home
[Chorus]
Now, Emily, you're far from home
And, Emily, we'll figure
If I could figure it out
We'll both now be free
And, Emily, come home
Now, Emily, come home
Now, Emily, come home
Now, Emily, come home
[Gerard talking]
"I'd like to hear that, see if the tempo is good, ya know?
Yeah, I wanna listen to it."
