Emma’s from a small town in Canada,

Lived there since her birth.

With restless trees and cool mountain breezes, it should have been a

Heaven on earth.

But Emma had a secret,

A secret that she tried to hide.

The more that she hid, the more she fit in as the townsfolk they

Muzzled her pride

But I know Emma’s secret,

Cause I lived it a lifetime ago.

And I know what it’s like to stay up all night wondering if you’ll

Ever feel whole.

Yeah I know Emma’s secret,

And I’ve told a few lies of my own .

Ans I know what it’s like to grow up in fright, so Emma you’re never

Alone.

Girls at school would whisper.

Boys blindly smiled wide.

But Emma knew what she had to do, so she lied and she tried to deny.

But is it really living,

If you’re playing make believe.

Life is yours for the making, so make it damn good and reprieve.

Cause I know Emma’s secret,

Cause I lived it a lifetime ago.

And I know what it’s like to stay up all night wondering if you’ll

Ever feel whole.

Yeah I know Emma’s secret,

And I’ve told a few lies of my own.

And I know what it’s like to grow up in fright, so Emma you’re never

Alone.
