"Emily Said" lyrics - TEARS FOR FEARS

[Intro:]
And they won't know
There'll be no more razing ghosts

"Wake up," said Emily, "the light outside is heavenly"
She takes another picture, then she cries
Ain't this the sweetest life? No pain or human sacrifice
Just you and me and strawberry skies

[Pre-Chorus:]
You could cry yourself to sleep and they won't know
I'll be lying at your feet with vertigo

[Chorus:]
You could cry yourself to sleep (You could cry)
And they won't know, my love
There'll be no more grinding teeth (There'll be no more)
Or razing ghosts, my love
You've seen enough

Is it her destiny to only see the best in me
And never say, "Dear Roland, you are wrong"?
She'll light a fire tonight and we will put the world to right
Just one more hallelujah till dawn

[Pre-Chorus:]
Just remember love is light, not skin and bone
Just go easy on yourself, you're not alone

[Chorus:]
You could cry yourself to sleep (You could cry)
And they won't know, my love
There'll be no more grinding teeth (There'll be no more)
Or razing ghosts, my love
You've seen enough

[Bridge:]
Emily said, "Get out of your head
And go make some tea for the two of us
I know you're sad and life is a drag
But just go and water the plants
These are the things that will help your anxiety"
Emily said

[Outro:]
And they won't know
There'll be no more razing ghosts, my love
You've seen enough (Emily said)
