​what happened to maggie? (prelude) Emlyn

[Verse]
Hey, I wanna get something straight
If nobody told you today
You don't have to toughen up, smile and fake it
No Rome wasn't built in a day
So, all of the words you replay
And love that you wish he'd proclaim
And letters you write for your friend to deliver
Will make you just laugh someday

[Pre-Chorus]
You'll wake up, yeah, welcome to real life
'Cause sometimes existing, it feels like
You're the only one in the room, and
Turns out that's just being a woman

[Chorus]
Walk down the yellow brick road
Sing 'til the shower gets cold
You'll learn from thе pain and learn to let go so
When thеy ask me "​What happened to Maggie?"
I'll tell them the truth when each chapter ends
The new one still holds on to you

[Outro]
Hey, I wanna get something straight
If somebody told you it's lame to feel all your feelings
I hope that you'll hear when I say
I don't consider myself to be broken
Took all the trauma, it cracked me wide open
'Cause after all, villains are made from the deepest emotions
