Emily from Keep Going by Living Suitcase

my darling Emily
you're a pure hearted girl
i'm gonna show you the world
that's what I said

hide it in boxes
and behind hotel doors
i fall through the floor
and come out all clean

but I know, oh, that it's not for the best
and I know, oh, that I'm gonna have to rest
but all of my friends aren't enough like me!

my darling Emily
something's not right
it's a sign of the times
that's what you said

should I feel hopeless?
or should I feel dread?
when it's all in my head
i can't break free

but I know, oh, there's things I can't change
and I know, oh, that I'm acting the same
but all of my friends aren't enough like me!

all of my friends are just like me
hopeless, dead ends in this dead city
if I never see you again, I won't be soothed
i'm drowning in dysphoria, I've got nothing to lose
ooh, ooh, I've got everything to lose!

but if I can't stop feeling this way, then I just might!
please answer me so I can sleep tonight!
she's locked in my head and it's not alright!

my darling Emily
i'm a useless man
and I can't pretend
to be anything else
