— Эмили Роуз пришла! Только…
— Только, что?
— Только она заболела.
***
— Так ты всё понял? Главное, улыбайся и пой под фонограмму. И придерживайся теории, что ты болен. Надеюсь, ты не испортишь всё…
Ежиха хотела что-то сказать ей, но…
— Дамы и господа! Позвольте представить вам великую и неповторимую Эмили Роуз со своей песней!
Кулисы открылись, а из них показалось розовая макушка. «Эх… Я об этом ещё пожалею…» Тем временем послышался шёпот:
— Включай фонограмму…
I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself cause
my heart so much misery
I will not break
the way you did
You fell so hard
I learned the hard way,
to never let it get that far
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don’t get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
I lose my way
And it’s not too long
before you point it out
I ca
Because I know that’s weakness in your eyes
I’m forced
to fake a smile, a laugh
Every day of my life
My heart can’t possibly break
When it wasn’t even whole to start with
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don’t get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
I watched you die
I heard you cry
Every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry
In the middle of the night
Over the same damn thing
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don’t get hurt
Because of you
