You are so young
I guess im old
Open your eyes,
I keep mine closed
The age difference wasnt their problem, it was how they saw the world. He didnt care, she did. She always would say 'what if we get caught'? And he would reply 'then the Prophet's got one hell of a story'. He kept his eyes shut to the things she cared most about.
I prefer standing
You take your sleep
Ill be wide awake
Youll fall asleep
She was too careful. He would try and talk to her in public, but she would turn away. They were complete opposites.
And youll fall down a hole
Thats the one place we both know
Take me with you if you could, but i wouldnt go
I guess that sometimes, we both lose our minds
To find a better road
They had both tried to be with someone else, but they were too deeply in love with eachother to love anybody else. She had broken every heart she touched, and the same for him. They had lost their minds trying to find someone better, but in the back of their minds, they knew they never would. They both would sit up at night trying to forget. It was the one thing they had in common.
I can be pensive
You can be so sure
Ill be the poison
Youll be the cure
It didnt start like this, though. It was her idea. She was broken, and he was the only one who cared. The kiss didnt last, because he knew it was wrong. But somehow, it happened again. At the Yule ball, at graduation, on her birthday, on his. There was a poison in his heart from being lonely for so long, and she was the only cure he had ever known.
Im alone on this journey
Im alive none the less
And when you do your very worse
Oh, it feels the best
After a while, what she had started, scared her. She was scared to be with him, even in public. She became scared of what he could do to her. He would tell her consantly, not to be scared, but she only wanted to be left alone. If she never loved, at least she lived. The endless times he said he loved her, she ignored him for the thought he was lying. While he was doing his best to love her, she was doing her worst to ignore him.
