Hey, 'tis me with my first ever songfic. Enjoy
Against All Odds.
How can I just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all
You said you loved me. You promised you'd never leave me. You swore we'd be together forever. Yet here I am. All alone. This just might be the most important day of my life, and you're leaving me. How am I supposed to cope?
How can you just walk away from me,
When all I can do is watch you leave
Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all
Despite all you said, I was positive you wouldn't really leave me. You couldn't leave me. Not after everything we'd been through together. For a second, our eyes met and I could sense your hesitation. You didn't really want to leave. Yet you did anyway, slamming the door behind you to illustrate your point.
So take a look at me now, oh there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
Just the memory of your face
Ooh take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds and that's what I've got to face
When you left you took everything I had. It doesn't matter anyway. You're all I wanted, all I needed. And when you left, a small part of me died. It was only when I looked out the window after you, I realised that I only have one picture of you . One of us together. It wasn't a particularly nice picture of us, but it was all I had. And you'd taken it with you.
I wish I could just make you turn around,
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you,
So many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all
When you told me you were leaving, I burst into tears. And you just looked away. Begged me not to cry. Told me I was making it too hard for you. Well what about me? Selfish wasn't a word I'd have associated with you before, but you were acting like it was all about you. Did it matter to you that I loved you? Did it matter that despite appearances I was lonely before you came along. And I know you were too. So how can you leave me? After everything you said about loving me?
So take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Now take a look at me now, cos there's just an empty space
I still can't get over you taking that picture? Does that mean you're sorry you left? Does it mean you'll come back? Or does it mean you hated that picture so much, you wanted rid of it? Somehow I doubt it's the latter. So does that mean you're coming back soon?
But to wait for you, is all I can do and that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now, cos I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It's the chance I've gotta take
You're not coming back. I have to make myself accept that. You knew what you were doing when you left. However, I can't let go. Every time I close my eyes, I see your face. And I know I'll wait for you for the rest of my life. It's not as if I can do much else inside this cell.
Take a look at me now
It's my trial today Zain. Do you really think you'll be able to give evidence against me? I know you. And you won't be able to do it. You're loyal like that. A part of you will still think you'll be able to change me. And that's the part I'll appeal to.
A/N: Okay, don't look at me like that. I didn't tell you it was Zain/Kristen straight away, because, honestly about 3 people would read it lol. But now you've wasted your time by reading it, you may as well waste some more by reviewing it :D
The big blue button awaits you :D
