Song for Emma Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Emma stands alone tonight staring at the stars
Trying to find the reason why her world was torn apart
She's sick and tired of trying to keep the wolves back from the door

[Chorus]
She couldn't stand the pain
Tried to come in from the rain
She was a victim of her heart
Is there no one to blame?

[Verse 2]
What happened to the dreams she had, visions of her life
Now they're only shadows fading in the night
She's given up believing, turned her back and slammed the door

[Chorus]
She couldn't stand the pain
Tried to come in from the rain
She was a victim of her heart
Is there no one to blame?

[Bridge]
No one to blame
No one to blame
No one to blame

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Emma weeps alone tonight, passion was her crime
No one hears her cry for help, her back's against the wall
She's standing on her very edge, she's waiting for the fall

[Chorus]
She couldn't stand the pain
Tried to come in from the rain
She was a victim of her heart
Victim of her heart
She couldn't stand the pain
Tried to come in from the rain
She was a victim of her heart
Is there no one to blame?
(To blame..)
Oh oh oh oh...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
