I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh or "Broken" by Seether feat. Amy Lee of Evanescence but the idea is mine Lyrics are in Italics.

Summary: When Jou is abused by his father, can a certain blonde help him? Or will she be too late?

I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph; I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

In Mai's car

"I wish I could steal your pain away Jou, if I could then you wouldn't be feeling the pain you feel now." Mai said sadly to herself.

'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

You've gone away, you don't feel me anymore

'She has gone away but I hope she still can feel me in her heart.' Thought Jou hopelessly.

The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

"The whole reason I'm here is so I can help Yuge fight evil, but Pegasus is cool now and so is Malik and dat Oricalcos ding has already been destroyed and Yami has his memories back so everyding is okay now so der's nothin' for me to do now. I just hope dat they can all forgive me for taking the selfish way out."


'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

'I will deliver myself from dis hell called "home" and when I do I will remove the power my father has on me' (holds up a sharp knife)

'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

'So dis is what the rush of impending death feels like, dis is what it feels like to die!!' (He brings the knife closer to his body)

'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

"Jou…I'm here I'm gonna take you from this place"


'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone

You've gone away, you don't feel me anymore

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
