Holy Water
Somewhere there's a stolen halo
I used to watch her wear it well
Everything would shine wherever she would go
But looking at her now you'd never tell
Emma was now a hollow shell of her former self. Her friends watched as she went through each day, becoming more and more numb to the world around her. It scared them, but no one knew what to do about it. They had tried talking to her, but it never worked. She would either ignore them, or insist that nothing was wrong. What her friends didn't know was that that was her cry for help.
Someone ran away with her innocence
A memory she can't get out of her head
I can only imagine what she's feeling
When she's praying
Kneeling at the edge of her bed
After the shooting, everyone could tell a difference in Emma. She tried to hide it, but, you could tell that something was missing. That spark in her eyes just wasn't there anymore. When Sean left, she got worse. It was obvious that she missed him. It was even more obvious that she still loved him. Then Jay came along. Everyone knew about the ravine, and they made sure Emma knew that they knew. The rumors were harsh, and they just broke her down even more. Her innocence was no more.
And she says take me away
Take me farther
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water
Holy water
It was obvious that Emma wanted out. Out of Degrassi, out of Toronto, heck, possibly out of Canada. Her friends could look at her and tell that she didn't want to be where she was. The thing that they couldn't see was that she wanted to be held, to be loved, to be cared for. But, most of all, she wanted to feel again.
She wants someone to call her angel
Someone to put the light back in her eyes
She's looking through the faces
The unfamiliar places
She needs someone to hear her when she cries
Emma used to be the strong one. She used to be the one who would never let anything get to her. When Sean broke up with her that final time, yeah, she had been heartbroken, but she didn't let it show. She was always tough. But, when that gun was pointed at her, something inside snapped. She never thought that someone could hate her so much that they would want to kill her. Ever since then, she had been on a downward spiral. It hadn't been so bad until Sean left. She felt that he had left her to deal with the shooting all on her own. Now, she just wanted someone to fill that void. So, when Jay showed her attention, she went. She did things that "normal Emma" wouldn't have done. All she wanted was someone who would be there for her and listen to her.
And she says take me away
Take me farther
Surround me now
And hold, hold, hold me like holy water
Holy water
