Okay, this is my first songfic. It's from Padmè's point of view, just before she dies. If you think it sucks, tell me. I agree with you. I wrote this a legit two years ago, didn't post cuz I thought it was crappy. I still do, but I felt like putting it up. (gags) I never thought I would ever write sap.
Disclaimer: I do not own Star Wars, or Gone by Kelly Clarkson.
What you see's not what you get
With you, there's just no measurement
No way to tell what's real from what isn't there
He had betrayed me! He swore to stop the Sith, but instead he had become one!
Your eyes, they sparkled
That's all changed into lies
That drop like acid rain
You washed away the best of me
You don't care
His eyes . . . so beautifully blue, so kind and caring . . . now they were evil, the eyes of a Sith. When he married me, he said he would always love me. Now see what he did. I am dying . . . does he even care?
You know you did it
I'm gone
To find someone to live for in this world
There's no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
Just a bridge that I gotta burn
I suppose he doesn't care . . . after all, he was the one who choked me in the first place! I know I should live, for the children, but to force them to grow up without a father . . .
You are wrong
If you think you can walk right through my door
That is just so you
Coming back when I've finally moved on
I'm already gone
Because that's what I would have to do. I am quite sure that I will never go back to him, not after what he did! He knows I love children, yet he killed younglings and expects me to rule the Galaxy with him.
Sometimes shattered, never open
Nothing matters when you're broken
That was me, whenever I was with you
Always ending, always over
Back and forth, up and down, like a roller coaster
Over the past few days I knew something was wrong. He had seemed distant, and he told me he didn't trust the Jedi as much as he used to. But I thought as long as we were together I was safe.
I was too trusting.
I am breaking that habit today
I will never make the same mistake again . . . because I will be dead.
You know you did it
I'm gone
To find someone to live for in this world
There is no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
Just a bridge that I gotta burn
You are wrong
If you think you can walk right through my door
That is just so you
Coming back when I've finally moved on
I'm already gone
Now I know why he was so distracted, when he met me before going to Mustafar. He didn't just distrust the Jedi, he killed them! I still love him, but I can never be happy with him again.
There is nothing you can say
Sorry doesn't cut it, babe
Take the hit and walk away
Cause I'm gone
Doesn't matter what you do
It's what you did that's hurting you
All I needed was the truth
Now I'm gone
If I let myself live, I know he would try to come after me again. I'm not sure I could refuse . . .
But I need to refuse. The problem is, I would never be cheerful again. I couldn't bear to live my life as a depressed widow . . . for a widow I would be. Anakin Skywalker is dead to me.
What you see's not what you get
What you see's not what you get
When we married, I thought it was risky in itself. I never dreamed I would be strangled! He thinks I turned against him . . . Oh, Anakin, I wish you could understand. I loved you. Obi-Wan hadn't turned me against you, you did it yourself. Chancellor Palpatine has twisted your mind.
You know you did it
I'm gone
To find someone to live for in this world
There's no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
Just a bridge that I gotta burn
You are wrong
If you think you can walk right through my door
That's just so you
Coming back when I've finally moved on
I'm already gone
Do you see what you've done? I'm dying now, because of you. You killed me, Anakin Skywalker, you killed me. I loved you, but that was in the past. I do believe there is good in you, but because of you I will never get to see if it shows itself. The galaxy will know you only as Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith.
I'm already gone
Ooh, I'm already gone
Already gone
Not even my memories of you will survive.
I'm gone.
