Inspired by the line from Alainis Morsettes You Oughta Know when Haley Reinhart sang it.
I want you to know, that I am happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me?
Would she go down on you in a theater?
Does she speak eloquently
And would she have your baby?
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother
Claudia was waiting. It had been months since she had disappeared and watched Nick live on. This Jenny was her but not. The confusion had worn away and Claudia was ready to make herself known. He had to know about her and she had to make sure that she wasn't forgotten. it wasn't fair to see Jenny slowly and slowly win over Nick each day. what did she have on me? Claudia thought.
'Cause the love that you gave that we made
Wasn't able to make it enough for you
To be open wide, No
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me
You'd hold me until you died
Till you died, but you're still alive
Did Jenny know about how close they were? How Nick would tell her he loved her? Claudia glared at them walking to lunch one day, to close for her comfort. Maybe the love she gave him wasn't enough for him to want her back.
And I'm here, to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair, to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
Late at night she watched from the mirror as he came into the bathroom. Bracing herself against the glass she forced everything she had out hoping that it would break the boundaries of time. His blue eyes looked into hers and for a moment he took it in. Stumbling back he turned away hoping that the vision of the lost love would fade. Claudia held on but soon the bridge built between their worlds faded and she faded from the mirror. Nick turned back and covered his face with his hands.
You seem very well, things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me, Mr. Duplicity?
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face
How quickly I was replaced
And are you thinking of me when you with her?
But her efforts would soon be forgotten. Nick would arrive at work as if seeing her was just a dream. But this didn't make Claudia mad. It made her angry. Anger that she was replaced in his mind. That no matter how many times she could make herself known he would soon try to forget about it.
Screw the "Pain" it caused him supposedly
Cause the joke that you laid in the bed
That was me and I'm not gonna fade
As soon as you close your eyes, and you know it
And every time I scratch my nails
Down someone else's back I hope you feel it
Well, can you feel it?
Claudia wouldn't give up. Because she wouldn't let Nick forget what he had left, of the woman he made vanish. He had to know.
And I'm here, to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair, to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
I would have loved to make a video of them for this song. But not having the DVD's of them, or video editing stuff make it hard.
