Emma (Album Version)

[Intro:]
When it rains it pours
All the pain we endure we should raise and march
When it rains it pours
Our demons we fight with a blazing torch
When it rains it pours

[Verse One:]
There was a girl named Emma, Emma was 12 years old
You can find this kinda girl in every area code
She spends most of her days alone, locked in her room
Looking out the window, raindrops in her room
Thoughts of suicide, would even cut herself
She didn't love herself, she hated her reflection
She cried for attention but no one listened
Emma was depressed, Daddy was missing
Mommy was busy working, she wishes things were different
She only had one friend, and that friend had both parents
It hurt Emma bad, her soul slowly perished
Momma loved her but Momma was always running errands
Emma asked Momma, 'Momma, why you never home? Momma, I got an A in class look,'
'Baby that's good, but I gotta go to work, we'll talk about it later,'
'You always say that Momma,'
'I promise Emma', 'you always promise
You always break it, you're not being honest,'

[Hook x2:]
When it rains it pours
All the pain we endure we should raise and march
When it rains it pours
Our demons we fight with a blazing torch
When it rains it pours

[Verse Two:]
Four years later, Emma's sixteen
Doing bad in school, has a bad attitude
Addicted to Valium's, addicted to sex with boys and girls in school bathrooms
Emma can care less if Momma's never home
Cause now she can bring boys to her house that are double her age so she can get blown
She still misses the times when Daddy was around
But Daddy left so that boy she just met with a car can hold her down
She's looking for love in all the wrong places
She's sleeping with strangers, the fast life's contagious
She knows what she's doing is dangerous, but she don't give a shit
If she lives or dies tonight, she's tryna live a bit
Deep down, there's a little girl that just lost her route
But no one was around to show her how to get out
So now, she's stuck in the vicious cycle and it's going down, Something bad might happen if she doesn't slow it down

[Hook x2:]
When it rains it pours
All the pain we endure we should raise and march
When it rains it pours
Our demons we fight with a blazing torch
When it rains it pours

[Verse Three:]
Emma's twenty years old now but her face is thirty
Maturity never struck but drugs aged her early
She's been through a lot of tough times, mistakes and worry
This place she's placed herself in is grey and blurry
She barely sees Momma, when Momma tries to call her
She says 'it's too late Momma, I gotta go meet Conner
Conner is my new boyfriend, I know you never met him
Cause I won't let him, he's asked about you, and I won't tell him
How great of a mother you were, a drug addicted felon
I'll keep that a secret between us, no need for yelling'
Hangs up the phone, picks up a needle from the night stand
Flicks it, a couple times and sticks it in her right hand
Lays her head back on the pillow, looks at the ceiling
Little does she know she's injected too much of that villain
Looking out the window, she slowly dies off
That's the last raindrop, her eyes saw

[Hook x2:]
When it rains it pours
All the pain we endure we should raise and march
When it rains it pours
Our demons we fight with a blazing torch
When it rains it pours

[Outro:]
When it rains it pours
All the pain we endure we should raise and march
When it rains it pours
Our demons we fight with a blazing torch
When it rains it pours
