And I'm not going back

And I'm not going back

Into rags or in the hole

And our bruises are coming

But we will never fold

Rosalie Hale didn't mind being a Hale; even now that she was a Cullen. She knew that she'd never have to REALLY be a Hale again. She knew very well that she'd always have the scars and bruises Royce gave her, but she didn't care much. She knew she'd never live in poverty, or be alone, and that was enough.

And I was your silver lining

As the story goes

I was your silver lining

But now I'm gold

I killed my own fiancé, yes. He raped me, and I killed him. I was just so damn tired of being a centerpiece. Of being something that people looked at rather than talked to. I was sick of that crap. I used to be your Rose, the soft pink one that everyone admires. Now I'm my Rose, and I'm the bright red one that makes everyone stare.

Hooray hooray

I'm your silver lining

Hooray hooray

But now I'm gold

I laugh at the thought of what my mother would have said, had she known I killed Royce. She's the only one I regret leaving. The only one I felt some tiny speck of remorse for; I tore her favorite child, and her favorite child's future, from her in one night.

But I made that child stronger. I made that child an adult, and that I will never regret.

And I was your silver lining

High up on my toes

You were running through fields of hitch-hikers

As the story goes

He was bragging about me to his friends, that night. I was his prize, his Rose. I was a ballerina, and he was always making me twist and stretch out of myself and into him. And all the while he never loved me; he just liked to brag. I drove myself crazy for him and he just left, going to bars late at night with his drunken friends.

Hooray hooray

I'm your silver lining

Hooray hooray

But now I'm gold

I was so excited at the thought of getting married at first. I was so happy to be making my parents proud, to be giving myself a chance at what my friends had. But now I'm excited that it's over. I'll never have to deal with him again. I have Emmett now.

And the grass it was a ticking

And the sun was on the rise

I never felt so wicked

As when I willed our love to die

I must admit that the day I killed him I was still regretful. I was so stubbornly insistent that I have my humanity back that I almost let him live. It's a horrible feeling, taking a human life, especially if they did nothing but guard the one that hurt you. I spent weeks moping over the lives of those innocent that I had killed. I would have taken so many human lives, sucked so many dry, were it not for those two.

And I was your silver lining

As the story goes

I was your silver lining

But now I'm gold

Yes, I was the 'light of his life', but who wants to be a lightbulb? Who wants to be the sun? No one ever looks at the sun. No one ever talks to a lightbulb. Lightbulbs get taken for granted, get turned off and left behind as soon as you leave a room. It's not in my nature to be that way.

Hooray hooray

I'm your silver lining

Hooray hooray

But now I'm gold

What I mean to say is that I don't care. I far from regret what I did, I firmly believe that this life has been wonderful to me. Emmett is amazing, Jasper and Alice are the best siblings I could dream of, Carlisle and Esme are marvelous parents. Edward, to be honest, pisses me off. But I love it here. And I wouldn't leave it for anything.

But now I'm gold
