Lyrics Emilie Autumn

Emilie Autumn

Heard It All

I heard a story

It's too hard to mention

I heard a thing once

I can't even say

I had a moment

Of doubtful suspension

But it's almost forgotten

It's been pulled away

By too many hands

Touching where I stand

And I can't fall

Because you'll try and catch me

Never let me go

You don't think I know

I've heard it all

And so you'll never scratch my skin

I heard a boy say

It's all my invention

A fictional statement

It's all in my head

All I can tell you

My only pretension

Was in thinking you listened

To me when I said

There's too many hands

Touching where I stand

And I can't fall

Because you'll try and catch me

Never let me go

You don't think I know

I've heard it all

And so you'll never scratch me

There's just too many hands

Touching where I stand

And I can't fall

Because you'll try and catch me

Never let me go

You don't think I know

I've heard it all

And so you'll never scratch me

I've heard your paltering and your lies

And it won't go away when I close my eyes

Do you think of me when I'm nowhere near?

When you shut your mouth tell me what you hear

I've heard it all

I've heard it all

I've heard it

Somebody called me

A paranoid angel

From on the other

Side of the wall

You might be special

But it's too late to change now

'Cause it isn't the first time

I've heard it all

For too many years

To relieve my fears

So I'm advising you

To get away and fast

If it's my mistake

Then the blame I'll take

You're not the first

And you won't be the last

I've seen too many hands

Touching where I stand

And I can't fall

Because you'll try and catch me

Never let me go

You don't think I know

I've heard it all

And so you'll never scratch me

There's just too many hands

Touching where I stand

And I can't fall

Because you'll try and catch me

Never let me go

You don't think I know

I've heard it all

And so you'll never scratch me

I've heard it all

And so you'll never scratch me

I've heard it all

And so you'll never scratch me

I've heard it all

And so you'll never scratch my skin
