This song just went so well with Emilia's transformation into Emma that I had to do it.
I do not own "She's So Gone" or Nimmo's idea's.
Insecure
In her skin
Like a puppet, a girl on a stringI had been theirs, at their disposal, nearly a ghost, a puppet, unable to feel, to know, to even understand.
Broke away
Learned to fly
If you want her back, gotta let her shine
I was locked up in the attics, Manfred had locked me up there because Charlie Bone had woken me up.
I didn't want to give up. I had a life, I had friends, I had an aunt.
Then something hit me. I could fly, Charlie had said so I stood on my bed and imagined flight, before I knew it I was soaring.
So, it looks like the joke's on you
'Cause the girl that you thought you knew
She's so gone
That's so over now
She's so gone
They couldn't rule my life, it was MINE, and I deserved to live it. I was NOT Emelia Moon, I was Emma Tolly, Emilia Moon was so gone.
You won't run her around,
you can look but you won't see
The girl I used to be
'Cause she, she's so gone
Manfred had always made sure someone was watching me. First him personally, then Dr. Bloor, and then the Moons. I was run around, unable to make my own choices.
Try as they might nobody will ever find Emilia Moon. Never. She didn't even exist.
Here I am
This is me
And I'm stronger than you ever thought I'd be.
I grasped Beth and Zelda when they were going to tie somebody to a tree and leave them for dead. I took them all the way to the heights.
Are you shocked?
Are you mad?
That you're missin' out on who I really am.
"Come with me, Emilia Moon," said Manfred coldly.
"I am not Emilia Moon! I'm Emma Tolly!"
He scowled.
"We'll see about that!"
'Cause she, she's so gone away, like history,
She's so gone.
I look back now and see just how awful my life had been. But maybe, just maybe, if it hadn't happened Charlie would never have started saving people. It was important, but that part of my life was over. Emilia was gone forever.
Baby this is me... she's so gone.
I laughed in the Pets' Café with my friends and thought for the first time.
This is me.
