Kurt eyes scanned the audience of his fellow class mates looking for one in particular, one not from McKinley. There. He found him. Blaine's hair was gelled back in its normal way and he was still wearing his school uniform, breathing barely even. Kurt cleared his throat and began singing, his clear, soft voice filling the room.
Close enough to start a war
All that I have is on the floor
God only knows what we're fighting for
All that I say, you always say more
I can't keep up with your turning tables
Under your thumb, I can't breath
Kurt locked eyes with Blaine, transmitting the emotion he felt straight to his boyfriend. Blaine shifted nervously, not quit wanting to believe Kurt meant every word he sang.
So I won't let you close enough to hurt me
No I won't ask you, you to just desert me
I can't give you what you think you gave me
It's time to say goodbye…to turning tables
Under haunted skies I see
Where love is lost, your ghost is found
I've braved a hundred storms to leave you
As hard as you try, no, I will never be knocked down
I can't keep up with you turning tables
Under you thumb I can't breath
So I won't let you close enough to hurt me
No, I won't ask you, you to just desert me
I can't give you what you think you gave me
It's time to say goodbye…to turning tables…
Turning tables…
Tears began to gather in both boys eyes. They each understood what Kurt was saying, but each didn't want it to be true. Kurt took a deep, shaking breath and began singing louder, trying to cover up his emotions,
Next time I'll be braver, I'll be my own savior
When the thumb that cost me
Next time I'll be braver, I'll be my own savior
Standing on my own two feet
So I won't let you close enough to hurt
No I won't ask you, you to just desert me
I can't give you what you think you gave me
It's time to say goodbye…to turning tables
Turning tables
Turning tables, yeah…turning…
Kurt looked down at his feet to keep his tears hidden as he held the last note. He gathered his voice for one last 'thank you' and stepped off the stage, ran to the bathroom, and promptly began to cry. Blaine was left in the audience, trying his best not show his own tears, and silently freaking out in his mind.
