Description
Emma
she's the one who tattles tales
and she's the one who kept them up all night
and she pinched me first
and she embarrassed me in front of the guys
and she watched me when I first kissed, and told
my mom and dad. They always blame me,
she's such a pain, she started it
it was her, this isn't fair, it’s just that
I'm the one they always blame and

I hate her. She's older now
and asking me for help
and she doesn't know what’s wrong
and she's nervous now, she cries
at things I do and say, and hides
when I make things at home
so bad that I can’t bear to stay
when dad is somewhere for the night
and mom is swearing in her room
and tells herself that we can't hear
and we all know she's wrong.
Emma's giving me bad looks when I get home
and I've been gone for days, and mom's been scared
and dad's away.

And day by day, she smiles more
and laughs at all the little things
that I couldn't give two shits about
she's asking now, and now I know
just what to say about the boys
and hating school, and what a pain
when mom and dad, oh yeah I hate that,
why won't they just, what’s he like,
now that sounds cool. I love you too.
