Somebody saw you at the station
You had your suitcase in your hand
You didn't give no information
You walked off with another man
It was with growing horror and rage that he watched the two of them dance in each other's arms. Their bodies swayed back and forth, neither of them removing their gaze from the other's eyes. His body shook and a sick feeling welled up in his stomach.
I'm always standing in the shadows, baby
He did not leave the corner that he was hidden in. His mind felt numb and his darkened heart only twisted further.
I watched you give yourself away
You take them home into your bedroom
This wasn't right. He should be the one to carry her up the stairs in his arms – not him. Not this- this stumbling oaf who had no true knowledge or appreciation for the goddess he held.
You had another busy day
Swallowing the bile that rose in his throat, he turned and sunk back through the shadows.
I tried to look the other way and fake it
She smiled at him as the three sat in the living room together, believing to be surrounded by her two friends. He smiled back weakly, knowing to be surrounded by the two who had betrayed him.
You push me to the limits
In vehement anger, he whirled and threw his fist against the wall – baring his teeth in satisfaction as a crack made its way up the woodwork.
I can't take it
Pulling his cape closer to him, he stalked through the night air. Eyes a deadly red glowed with malice.
His target was close.
One down, one to go
Just another bullet in the chamber
He pulled his fist back, allowing the familiar feeling of energy to engulf his hand. With a snarl, he allowed the attack to fly forward. Towards him.
It hit its mark.
Sometimes love's a loaded gun
Red lights, stop and go
Whatcha gonna do when you play with danger
The sound of a gun being cocked caused him to turn around and see her. She had raised the weapon towards him and everything in her posture screamed 'hatred'.
Sometimes love's a loaded gun
And it shoots to kill
He growled deep in his throat as his fingers flexed and twitched with an urge so strong it was hard to ignore.
Someday they'll put me in a squad card
She shot the gun and he laughed, relishing in the fact that she thought that she actually stood a chance against him.
Someday they'll throw away the key
The shot missed him by inches as he merely turned his body. She was good, he'd give her that.
But 'til that day I'll be a mad dog
Cuz that's what you taught me to be
His laughter ceased and his smile turned malevolent as he took her surprise to his advantage and sped towards her.
You looked into the eyes of men above you
I was the one who really tried to love you
Why? Whywhywhy – why? Was he not good enough for her? What did he lack that she sought so badly that she went to him? He would have given her anything. She had been his very world!
One down, one to go
Just another bullet in the chamber
Sometimes love's a loaded gun
He grabbed hold of her throat and lifted her into the air. He would make her regret – regret toying with him – regret becoming his obsession.
Red lights, stop and go
Whatcha gonna do when yo play with danger
Sometimes love's a loaded gun
And it shoots to kill
He once again pulled his fist back – allowing the power to overwhelm him as he in turn focused it with his rage and hatred. He allowed it to build.
Pull the trigger
Then he released it.
There was no way for him to have missed.
I tried to look the other way and fake it
You know, you push me right to the limit
I can't take it
It was her fault that they were all like this anyway. She shouldn't have left.
One down, one to go
Just another bullet in the chamber
Sometimes love's a loaded gun
Red lights, stop and go
Whatcha gonna do when yo play with danger
Sometimes love's a loaded gun
And it shoots to kill
His grip tightened around her throat as she screamed and thrashed. It wasn't until she fell limp that he released his hold.
One down, one to go
Just another bullet in the chamber
Sometimes love's a loaded gun
Ignoring the tears that gathered in the corners of his eyes, he turned and stepped over the bodies. It was her fault anyway.
Somebody saw you at the station
He walked slowly down the street as his cape vanished in the evening air and angry red turned to sorrowful blue.
It was her fault.
