Song Credit: Lie- David Cook A/N: I was listening to this song on my iPod and all of a sudden, it just hit me how perfectly this song would go with Collins and Angel during her death. Ok, even if you don't like this, you should definitely listen to the song- you'll see what I mean.
Disclaimer: Don't own Rent. Don't own the song.
-My computer's messed up so just pretend there's a line break here-
You whispered that you were getting tired,
You're tired all the time now.
Got a look in your eye, looks a lot like goodbye
Please don't say goodbye.
Hold on to your secrets tonight.
You don't need to say anything. I know.
Don't want to know, I'm ok with this silence
It's better than hearing you try to speak.
It's truth that I don't want to hear
I can't handle it. I can't face life without you.
You're hiding regret in your smile
Do you have to smile? When everything is so fucked up you still force a smile, still try to make everything seem normal.
There's a storm in your eyes I've seen coming for awhile
Why didn't I take better care of you?
Hold on to the past tense tonight
I remember those happy, carefree days, before you got sick. I want to go back to those days.
Don't say a word,
So little energy. So little time.
I'm ok with the quiet.
We never needed words. We were beyond that.
The truth is gonna change everything.
What is my life without you? It's nothing. It's shattered. It's cold and empty and meaningless.
So lie to me and tell me that it's gonna be alright
Please, just pretend there's hope. There's nothing else keeping me from falling apart.
So lie to me and tell me that we'll make it through the night
One more night is all I ask for.
I don't mind if you wait before you tear me apart
I wouldn't care if you cut my heart out and threw it away, I would still love you
Look me in the eye,
Lie, lie, lie.
Please
I know that there's no turning back.
I can't go back, but I can't go forward unless you're standing next to me.
If we put too much light on this we'll see through all the cracks. Everything's fucked up. Roger and Mimi won't admit they've both made mistakes. Maureen and Joanne won't put aside their goddamn pride. You made me forget all of that.
Let's stay in the dark one more night.
We can deal with everything tomorrow. But that's the thing about tomorrow- it's always just beyond reach.
Don't want to know, I'm ok with the silence.
Silence is deafening me.
It's truth that I don't want to hear.
I can't hear it now.
Please.
So lie to me and tell me that it's gonna be alright
It's not going to be alright. I can see by the way you look at me that you know it. But let's please just pretend.
So lie to me and tell me that we'll make it through the night
One more night. All I want.
I don't mind if you wait before you tear me apart
That's what's going to happen, in the end, though. If not today, then tomorrow. If not then, someday.
So look me in the eye, Beautiful eyes. Full of life. You had so much left to do on this earth. We could have done them together.
And lie, lie, lie.
Please
Don't want to believe in this ending
It can't end. We can't end.
Let the cameras roll on,
Mark will keep filming us. If it kills him, he'll do it. He watches life from behind that screen.
Keep pretending
You always were my drama queen- can't you be my actress now?
Tomorrow's all wrong if you walk away
Not just tomorrow- every day for the rest of forever.
Just stay
Please.
So lie to me and tell me that it's gonna be alright
For my sake, just lie.
So lie to me and tell me that we'll make it through the night
Our last night?
I don't mind if you wait before you tear me apart
If it means another second spent with you, I'll gladly feel the pain later.
Look me in the eye,
And lie, lie, lie. Please.
So lie to me and tell me that we're gonna be ok
We have to be. We're not going to be.
So lie to me and tell me that we'll make it through the day
You showed me the meaning of a day.I don't mind if you wait before you tear me apart
You always could get away with anything. How could I say no to you?
Look me in the eye,
And lie, lie, lie.
Please.
Please.
Please…
A/N: Of course I'd love reviews, but you knew that already. ;)
