Bella's POV
LIKE A KNIFE, EDWARD VERSION
I dream a lot, I know you say I've got to get away
"The world is not yours for the taking" is all you ever say
I know I'm not the best for you, but promise that you'll stay
Edward told me I was the only one for him. He promised me that he'll never leave me. But in the end, he did leave me. All the promises he kept were broken. They were nothing but lies.
Cause if I watch you go you'll see me wasting; you'll see me wasted away.
Cause today, you walked out of my life.
Cause today, your words felt like a knife.
"You're not good for me Bella." he told me. My heart broke because I knew it was the truth.
I'm not living this life.
I definitely know that I can't live without Edward! I promised him that I won't do anything reckless, but hasn't he broken his promises too? It's only fair that I break some of mine…
Goodbyes are meant for lonely people standing in the rain
And no matter where I go it's always pouring all the same
I went outside where it was raining cats and dogs. Maybe this would help. I'm now soaking wet and I don't care. I'll stand in the rain and maybe, just maybe, he'll come back. He will lightly tap my shoulder and say softly, "Come on Bella, let's get you inside where it's warm and dry." Afterwards, he'll hug me in bed and he'll sing my lullaby for me.
These streets are filled with memories both perfect and in pain
I walked and walked without a destination in mind. Hours and hours might've past, I think. I soon found myself in Port Angeles-right where Edward saved me from those thugs. The fissure in my heart sizzled badly, so I left. I walked farther and soon enough, I was in front of La Bella Italia. Memories of the past flashed in my head and it cracked the fissure in my heart open. I can't bear it anymore! I decide to walk back home. I don't want to catch a bus for fear that Edward might not come to shelter me from the rain.
And all I wanna do is love you, but I'm the only one to blame.
I only wanted to love him and be with him even though I knew I wasn't enough for him. The words he said that day confirmed it for me. I'm the only one to blame for this hardship I'm enduring badly.
Cause today, you walked out of my life
Cause today, your words felt like a knife
I'm not living this life
But what do I know if you're leaving
I thought we were going to leave. We meaning 'the both of us'. But since I'm not a mind reader like him, I didn't have a way to know…
All you did was stop the bleeding
But these scars will stay forever,
These scars will stay forever.
If he comes back, I'll accept him again with open arms. But I cannot deny that the wounds inflicted to my heart are now impossible to heal.
And these words they have no meaning
If we cannot find the feeling
That's right. Here I am being sentimental but he's still not here with me.
That we held on to together
Try your hardest to remember
Stay with me
Or watch me bleed
I need you just to breathe
It's 8 pm and dad is not yet home. That's good. I went upstairs and got in to the bathroom. I opened the shower and just stood there and let the water calm me down. But, alas, the water didn't help me.
Cause today, you walked out of my life
(Stay with me, or watch me bleed)
Cause today, your words felt like a knife
(I need you just to breathe)
I'm not living this life
Reality came upon me. Edward was never coming back. I was standing in the rain all day, but no Edward came to take me out of it. The tears quickly flowed of my eyes upon this thought. This pain is too much to bear. Letting myself experience some peace of mind, I fainted in the shower…
