Emilie Autumn — Mad Girl [acoustic version]

Emilie Autumn — Mad Girl [acoustic version] — lyrics

{Chorus}
Mad girl
Can you believe what they’ve done to you?
Wouldn’t they stop
When you asked them to leave you alone?
In all your faerie tales
How did the prince say he loved you?
How did your father die?
Was he a good man?
Maybe someday you’ll know

{Verse 1}
The beginning and the end
Much closer than they seem
Death is but a dream, I know
Dolls are meant to grow away
All broken and bent from petty play
My friend in this world
Is a bottle of nothing

{Refrain}
Still I fly
Still I fall

{Chorus}
Mad girl
Can you believe
What they’ve done to you?
Wouldn’t they stop
When you asked them to leave you alone
In all your faerie tales
How did the prince say he loved you?
How did your father die?
Was he a good man?
Maybe someday you’ll know

{Verse 2}
Like the water in the well
My melancholy state
Folly, fear, and hate, I know
Even time will never tell
She teetered, she tripped
And then she fell
My faith in this world
Is a bottle of nothing

{Refrain}
Still I fly
Still I fall

{Chorus}
Mad girl
Can you believe
What they’ve done to you?
Wouldn’t they stop
When you asked them to leave you alone
In all your faerie tales
How did the prince say he loved you?
Liar!
How did your father die?
Was he a good man?
Maybe someday…
