The Emperor's New Clothes

Lyrics

It seems years since you held a 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 21?
 In this 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've seen 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
