it seems years since you held the baby
while i wrecked the bedroom
you said it was dangerous after sunday
and i knew you loved me
he thinks i just became famous
and that’s what messed me up
but he’s wrong
how could i possibly know what i want
when i was only twentyone
and there’s millions of people
to offer advice and say how i should be
but they’re twisted
and they will never be any influence on me
but you will always be
you will always be
if i treated you mean
i really didn’t mean to
but you know how it is
and how a pregnancy can change you
i see plenty of clothes that i like
but i won’t go anywhere nice for a while
all i want to do is just sit here
and write it all down and rest for a while
i can’t bear to be in another city
one where you are not
i would return to nothing without you
if i’m your girlfriend or not
maybe i was mean
but i really don’t think so
you asked if i’m scared
and i said so
everyone can see what’s going on
they laugh cause they know they’re untouchable
not because what i said was wrong
whatever it may bring
i will live by my own policies
i will sleep with a clear conscience
i will sleep in peace
maybe it sounds mean
but i really don’t think so
you asked for the truth and i told you
through their own words
they will be exposed
they’ve got a severe case of
the emperor’s new clothes
the emperor’s new clothes
the emperor’s new clothes
the emperor’s new clothes
