[Verse 1: Jeremy Zucker, Jeremy Zucker & Chelsea Cutler]
And the worst of it all, I still believe in you
And these nightmares we've kept
In the heat of it all, I made an enemy
Put our demons to rest
[Pre-Chorus: Jeremy Zucker & Chelsea Cutler, Jeremy Zucker]
So I'll swallow my pride and fall in line
And you can just say that everything's fine
But we both know that's not enough (Mmm)
[Chorus: Jeremy Zucker]

Then I'll fight with your friends and I'll trash your apartment
I'll lie to you, screaming, "I'd die for you"
Knowing how hard it'll be to get back where we started
In Paris, you asked me if I was afraid that wе'd fall out of love
Would that be okay?
Emily
[Verse 2: Chelsea Cutler, Chelsea Cutler & Jeremy Zucker]
And in spite of it all, you'rе still my everything
When we're nothing at all
Come to think of it all, you are the centerpiece

And we can pretend that people unlearn
When we both know it's not enough (Mmm)
[Chorus: Jeremy Zucker, Jeremy Zucker & Chelsea Cutler]
So I'll promise you I'll be the best thing for us
Then I'll fight with your friends and I'll trash your apartment
I'll lie to you, screaming, "I'd die for you"
Knowing how hard it'll be to get back where we started
In Paris, you asked me if I was afraid that we'd fall out of love
Would that be okay?
Emily

Jeremy Zucker & Chelsea Cutler released emily on Fri Feb 05 2021.
We had both been in very dysfunctional relationships—and it’s not a specific story, and Emily isn’t a specific person, but we ended up using the name. We weren’t going to call somebody out. Chelsea’s middle name is Emily, so I was like, ‘Oh, that’s kind of cute.’
