The second single from Paramore’s debut album is a song about abusing love. Hayley lays out her views on love and how events like her parents' divorce affected her life. She believes the relationship she sings about (probably the one between her parents) is in a state of emergency, meant to colapse...
Emergency Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I think we have an emergency
I think we have an emergency
If you thought I'd leave, then you were wrong
'Cause I won't stop holding on
So are you listening?
So are you watchin' me?
If you thought I'd leave, then you were wrong
'Cause I won't stop holding on
This is an emergency
So are you listening?
And I can't pretend
That I don't see this
[Pre-Chorus]
But it's really not your fault
That no one cares to talk about it
To talk about it
[Chorus]
'Cause I've seen love die
Way too many times
When it deserved to be alive
(When it deserved to be alive)
And I've seen you cry
Way too many times
When you deserved to be alive
Alive
[Verse 2]
So you give up every chance you get
Just to feel new again
I think we have an emergency
I think we have an emergency
And you do your best to show me love
But you don't know what love is
So are you listening?
So are you watchin' me?
Well, I can't pretend
That I don't see this
[Pre-Chorus]
But it's really not your fault
That no one cares to talk about it
To talk about it
[Chorus]
'Cause I've seen love die
Way too many times
When it deserved to be alive
(When it deserved to be alive)
And I've seen you cry
Way too many times
When you deserved to be alive
Alive
[Bridge]
These scars, they will not
Fade away
[Breakdown]
No one cares to talk about it
To talk about it
[Chorus]
'Cause I've seen love die
Way too many times
When it deserved to be alive
(When it deserved to be alive)
And I've seen you cry
Way too many times
When you deserved to be alive
Alive

What did Paramore say about "Emergency"?
In an interview Hayley said:
This song is about love, and not love in a good way. People have started to abuse love. I mean, it’s becoming more and more common and you can see it with the divorce rates, and you can tell it the way people are treated. I see it all around and want to change it
