Thirty Day Challenge–Day 13

Dear Emmy Rossum;

I want to thank you for your album Inside Out. When I was going through a terribly difficult and emotionally draining part of my life your songs really helped me. I would literally put the songs on repeat and play them over and over again. I love how each song on your album was truly able to reach a part of me that I either did not want to feel or I that I wasn’t able to feel correctly. I could hear your voice singing the words that I so desperately needed to hear or to say myself.

Thank you,

Sheena

 

*Emmy Rossum-Inside Out-Don’t Stop Now*

“Follow you close four steps behind.
Part of me knew all of this time.
Pushed it down deep, kept it so small.
To help me keep these fragile walls,
From crashing down around my feet.
Don't make a sound, just let you be.
Lost in her face, can't turn away.
This final blow helps me let go.
Don't stop now, I need this to hurt.
Burn it into my mind.
No more second guessing anymore.
This is how it ends.
So don't stop now, get my head on straight.
And if seeing this is what it takes,
Please don't stop it now.
This will be the last time.
This darkened street you go to hide.
Illuminates you are not mine.
These tears run cold, my body numb.
I am not whole, what have you done.
It all makes sense, the disconnect.
Too many words we left unsaid.
But still I stare frozen here.
Until the curtains close.
Don't stop now, I need this to hurt.
Burn it into my mind.
No more second guessing anymore.
This is how it ends.
So don't stop now, get my head on straight.
And if seeing this is what it takes,
Please don't stop it now.
This will be the last time.
I need to see this through until this final bow.
Illusions gone, the show is done.
So don't stop now.
Follow you close four steps behind.
Part of me knew you are not mine.”
