Haunted-
You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
But I never thought I'd live to see it break
It's getting dark and it's all too quiet
And I can't trust anything now
And it's coming over you like it's all a big mistake
They fought a lot. All the time. Sometimes it was just bickering, sometimes it was much worse. But last night, last night was much worse than any other little spat they had ever had. Autumn had run out of the museum crying, and angry.
Oh, I'm holding my breath
Won't lose you again
something's made your eyes go cold
So Autumn had come back to the museum to try and make amends with him. She couldn't lose him again like that. She waited for an hour by the front doors for the museum to wake up so she could search for and persuade him talk to her.
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong
You're all I wanted
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can't breathe whenever you're gone
Can't turn back now, I'm haunted.
Autumn bit her bottom lip, took a deep breath, and walked forward toward him. He either hadn't see her yet or had chosen not to see her. She hoped it was the former. She had thought about this moment for the longest time in her head. It had haunted her.
Stood there and watched you walk away
From everything we had
But I still mean every word I said to you
He would try to take away my pain
And he just might make me smile
But the whole time I'm wishing he was you instead
Autumn remembered that fight like it was yesterday. She had slammed the museum door so hard the floor shook. They had given each other one last heartbroken fleeting glance and left for good. Except Autumn had come back.
Oh, I'm holding my breath
Won't see you again
something keeps me holding on to nothing
She held her breath and looked at him wishing he would acknowledge her. Give her some kind of hope that they could make up.
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong
You're all I wanted
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can't breathe whenever you're gone
Can't turn back now, I'm haunted
He couldn't just leave her like this, hanging on a shred that he still might listen to her.
I know, I know, I just know.
You're not gone. You can't be gone. No.
Subconsciously, she clenched her hands, making her knuckles turn white. Autumn stared at him, willing him to turn around.
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong
Won't finish what you started
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can't breathe whenever you're gone
Can't go back, I'm haunted
She held her breath as he turned around. He look right her, and smiled that smile she had always secretly loved. All that was a secret, thought. No one would ever know about that.
Oh
Her heart ached just looking at him.
You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
Never ever thought I'd see it break.
Never thought I'd see it...
That one look from him and Autumn knew all was forgiven. Everything would be all right after all. And, maybe, someday she might tell him the truth.
Someday, Autumn might tell Ahkmenrah that she loved him.
