He didn't know that three words could cut so deeply and yet, leave no scar.
He'd gladly show the scars of this battle.

He couldn't understand how three words could bring so much pain.
But it was a pain he adored.

He couldn't believe that he'd fallen so quickly.
The drop seemed like nothing at all.

He didn't think he'd ever enjoy Valetine's Day.
The rose petals in the tub and the box of chocolates was a nice touch...

He never thought that there would come a day when he would put someone else's wants and needs above his own.
The smile that met him was blinding and the kiss after blocked out the sun.

He never thought he'd say those words because to him, they were never enough.
'I love you doesn't begin to explain what I feel in my heart for you.'

'Let's do this and get back to our vacation and "relax."' The sound of laughter.
'Maybe we shoudl just o right now.'
'Then H would kill us.' The sound of more laughter.

'Ting-a-ling.' The sound of the bell over the door.
The sound of weighted silence.

The shots rang out in the small store.
'Click, click.' The sound of his gun jamming.
'Whomp.' The sound of the bullet hitting his chest.

'Officer down! Officer down!'
'Don't leave me.' The sound of sobbing.
'Eric... I-I love you...' The sound of silence.

He didn't know that three words could cut so deeply and yet, leave no scar...

! Fin !

Snow Patrol: Chasing Cars

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes
They're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things
Will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
