So, this is obviously my first story and was inspired by the song 'Fallout' by Marianas Trench. I was also inspired by this video, because it's simply fantastic~

An empty room,

I stare at the blank wall ahead of me, tears openly flowing down my cheeks.

I'm empty too

I can't feel anything except for the dull ache in my heart.

And everything reminds me of you

Even the colours of the Union Jack remind me of you.

So many things

We had so many memories together, through the good and even the bad.

I shouldn't have missed

How could I miss the signs? They were so obvious.

The more that I push

I always grabbed your hand when we were near him.

And the more you resist

And you always pushed me away.

It's easy to say it's for the best

You told me that we were never meant to be.

When you want more

Am I not good enough for you?

While you leave me with less

You left me with a broken heart.

I know you're fine, but what do I do?

What can I do?

I know you're fine, but what do I do?

What should I do?

I'm awake, and trying

I'm trying not to think about you.

While you're sleeping like a baby

But I know you're dreaming about him.

Beside him

You two share a bed now, just like we did.

I'm on the ledge while you're so

I can't stand being without you.

God damn polite and composed

You're always polite around him. You never used to be that way with me.

And I know you see me,

We're always seated next to each other during meetings.

And you're making it look so easy

You don't have a care in the world when you're with him.

What comes and goes,

Everytime he let you go, you came crying back to me.

I'd go without

I'd rather go without the heartache of watching you leave again.

I know you're fine but what if I

It's obvious that you're fine leaving me for good.

(Fallout), Fallout, (fallout), fallout (fallout)

But what if I fell?

Through the fallout

Fell right in front of you.

(Fallout), Fallout, (fallout), fallout, (fallout)

But then, what if I dragged you down?

You're the fallout

You're the reason for my pain.

Well now there's him,

Kiku...

And now there's me

Arthur...

The secrets you give

"Arthur, I..."

And the secrets you keep

"-...I don't love you anymore."

And nevertheless

I still wanted you.

It's never you let

But you never let yourself come back.

The more that I give

I gave you everything. Even independance.

And the less that I get

I didn't get anything in return.

Don't tell me to fight,

"Prove to me that you're capable of loving me, Arthur."

To fight for you

"I need to know. I need to know that you'll give me everything."

After this long, I shouldn't have to

I think I've given more than enough.

I know you're fine, but what do I do?

I don't know what to do without you.

I know you're fine, but what do I do?

You were my everything.

I'm awake, and trying

My body is shaking as I try to contain my sobs.

While you're sleeping like a baby

He's probably holding you as you lay in bed together.

Beside him

Sleeping comfortably next to him.

I'm on the ledge while you're so

I feel like letting go, but I just can't.

God damn polite and composed

Seeing you so happy makes me jealous.

And I know you see me,

I watch as you glance as me and frown, your eyes flitting away almost as quickly.

And you're making it look so easy

Then you laugh that laugh that I've heard so many times.

What comes and goes,

I now know that you've let go of me. Forever.

I'd go without

Yet I can't go a minute without thinking about you.

I know you're fine but what if I

You're better off with him, after all.

(Fallout), Fallout, (fallout), fallout (fallout)

I know I'll never be able to love again.

Through the fallout

But being with you for all those times is worth it.

(Fallout), Fallout, (fallout), fallout, (fallout)

Because I still love you.

I know you're fine but what if I

I still have everything you left behind.

(Fallout), Fallout, (fallout), fallout (fallout)

I can't bring myself to get rid of it.

Through the fallout

They're all the memories I have left.

(Fallout), Fallout, (fallout), fallout, (fallout)

I can't let anything go.

You're the fallout

You let this happen.

I know you're fine, but what do I do?

I know you don't care about me anymore.

I know you're fine, but what do I do?

But did you ever really care?

I know you're fine but what if I

You're with him now.

(Fallout), Fallout, (fallout), fallout (fallout)

I watch with jealous eyes at the G8 meeting as you bat your eyelashes as him.

Through the fallout

I miss when you did that to me.

(Fallout), Fallout, (fallout), fallout, (fallout)

I miss you more than you'll ever know.

I know you're fine but what if I

Your obnoxious laugh startles me out of a trance.

(Fallout)

I was thinking about you, of course.

I'm awake, and trying

Tears well up in my eyes as I watch you, but I quickly blink them away.

While you're sleeping like a baby

Sometimes you sleep during the meetings, your head on his shoulder.

Beside him

You hold hands when walking next to him.

I'm on the ledge while you're so

Sometimes I catch you watching me, longing in your eyes.

God damn polite and composed

You even walk past me, nodding your head in acknowledgement.

(Fallout), Fallout, (fallout), fallout (fallout)

I go home after the meeting.

Through the fallout

I shred everything you owned.

(Fallout), Fallout, (fallout), fallout, (fallout)

I need to forget about you now.

Through the fallout

I need to let go and find someone else.

(Fallout) FALLOUT (fallout)

So I burn our memories in my fireplace.

FALLOUT

I let you go. I'm free now. And I'm happy.
