Em 
Paradise and promises,

fairytales now that I can't deny

From the silver spoon you got,

you could eat the pie out of the sky.

Grass was always greener,

the sky was always blue.

Don't you know the Empress' clothes

So I'm hanging here, I'm nearly dry.

Always out of reach but

Just to know one day

Em 
Desperation struck me down,
G 
exaggeration caught me out, yeah
Em 
I'm stronger now, I'm wiser now,

Was I brave?
Was I stupid?

A genius? A fool?

But I  can't tell what's right or wrong,

cause there's no golden rule

I'm just hanging here,

I'm nearly dry

Just to know one day
