I Can't Break It To My Heart
AN: Random one shot turned song fic so may not make complete sense. It is based on the song I can't break it to my heart form Delta Goodrem's fabulous new album 'Delta'. I'm quite pleased with how this turned out so I hope you enjoy it.
If
it's OK - I'll leave the bed light on
And place your water glass
where it belongs
And if it's alright - I'll lie awake at
night
Pretending I am curled up at your side
It
had been three years since the summer at Lava Springs. Troy had
chosen Sharpay over Gabriella, not because he loved her but because
her family could give him everything he had every dreamed of.
Gabriella was at Kelsi's house helping her sort through all her
bits and pieces from East High. See
I'm circling in these patterns
Living out of memories
I'm still
a long way from accepting it
That there's just no you and me
As Gabriella was going through some of the old photos she came across one of Troy and herself as Prom King and Queen. Sharpay was in the background keeping a watchful eye over her man but despite the awkwardness there was still something there, a spark. She sat down, still staring at the photo when she felt an arm around her shoulder.
"Don't
worry, I didn't ask him to come and help out" Kelsi said
reassuringly. But
if I still believe you love me - maybe I'll survive
So I tell
myself you're coming home like you've done a million times
And if
it's alright I'll still be loving you
'Cause I can't break it to
my heart
"Thanks Kelsi but you can still be friends with him, I wouldn't mind if you had invited him" Gabriella replied still staring at the photo.
"You still love him, don't you?" Kelsi rushed out, she regretted it instantly but the evidence was all there.
Is
it just me - did I commit a crime?
I won't believe that loving you
is just a waste of time
Or was it in my head?
I'm reading
into things you never said
"Yes,
I do" Gabriella looked up "I thought he loved me too, I don't
know what I did wrong" 'Cause
I still don't have the answers
To why we couldn't work it out
I
wanna think it's something that I did
So I can turn it back
around
"It
wasn't you, your perfect, blame Sharpay she was the one who offered
him everything he wanted but he only ever loved you!" Kelsi said
Gabriella's face fell. But
if I still believe you love me - maybe I'll survive
So I tell
myself you're coming home like you've done a million times
And if
it's alright I'll still be loving you
'Cause I can't break it to
my heart
"He may have loved me but he's with Sharpay, his career and future was more important than love, maybe he wasn't worth it!" Gabriella pondered.
"Yeah
maybe he wasn't" Kelsi agreed. And
nothing will come between us
I wanna convince myself we're perfect
in every single way
As long as I can keep the truth away from my
heart
Oh 'cause I can't break it to my heart
Gabriella
picked up another photo that had been taken backstage at 'Twinkle
Towne' no Sharpay, just her and Troy nothing could come between
them. The perfect couple. 'Cause
I still don't have the answers
To why we couldn't work it out
I
wanna think it's something that I did
So I can turn it back
around
Gabriella
couldn't believe Troy had chosen Sharpay; she just wanted to know
why. Maybe she could go back and change it. But
if I still believe you love me - maybe I'll survive
So I tell
myself you're coming home like you've done a million times
And if
it's alright I'll still be loving you
'Cause I can't break it to
my heart
Delta's-Butterfly
But I still believe you love me!
