I'm dying to catch my breath
Oh why don't I
ever learn
I've lost all my trust though I've surely tried to
Turn
it around
"I hate you." I lie as the crowd snickers. He grins at me cockily and takes a step forward, "How was the party Saturday?" I hiss, "Did you get enough to drink?" I shoot at him. His smile fades as does the rest of the basketball team. It was low of me to reference his Dad's problem but I don't care right now.
"Tell me Ice Queen how did your parents react to the party? Oh wait they haven't come home yet have they?" everyone is shifting uncomfortably. This fight is different from our others, it's getting to personal. Everyone but the posse drifts away. They only want to see a show not insults that really hurt.
Can you still see the heart of
me?
All my agony fades away
When you hold me in your embrace
The memory of his arms around me haunts me as we stare down. In my mind I can feel his hands dance across my belly. I can feel his breath hot in my ear and his sharp intake of said breath as I rake my nails down his back. "Come on man, let's go." Jason pats him on the back and I see him shift uncomfortably. He catches my eye and I smirk.
"Yeah Danforth just walk away." I sneer as I turn to leave expecting him to do the same in the opposite direction.
He reaches out and grabs my arm. He does it on my upper arm that is covered by my sleeves. His fingers curve around the delicious bruise he left during our last encounter.
Don't tear me down
For all
I need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can
believe
Don't tear me down
You've opened the door now
Don't
let it close
"Why are we doing this?" he asks and his team, my posse, my brother, and his best friend freeze. They didn't have a clue but now they're scrambling to figure out what they've missed.
I'm
here on the edge again
I wish I could let it go
I know that I'm
only one step away
From turning around
"Doing what?" I sneer as though I don't know the full meaning behind his question. We can see our friends holding their breaths. All he has to do is shot a smart-ass comment at me and they'll chalk up his question to a set up.
Can you still see the heart of
me?
All my agony fades away
when you hold me in your embrace
I can feel him studying me trying to decide what would make me happy. I consider giving him nothing but then I meet his eyes and I know he can see my want.
Don't tear me down
For all I
need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can
believe
Don't tear it down
What's left of me
Make my heart a
better place
"We're not fooling anybody you know?" he says even though that's a lie. Nobody ever saw more than we wanted them to see. We're world class actors the two of us, I'm better out here than I am on stage.
"I know." I whisper going along with the game. He slides his hand down my arm and takes my hand.
"Let's stop playing." He offers and I know that he just wants to stop pretending.
I've tried many
times but nothing was real
Make it fade away
Don't break me
down
I want to believe that this is for real
Save me from my
fear
Don't tear me down
I thread my fingers through his and let him pull me to him. I lean my head on his shoulder burying my face in that perfect dip that I fit into. I feel him wrap both his arms around me and I take a deep breath taking in his scent. I love the way he smells and I know that he's inhaling my strawberry scented hair. He loves strawberry and he knows I know that. "I love you Sharpay." he whispers but I know they all heard.
"I love you too Chad." I mumble back not caring that they heard.
Don't tear me
down
For all I need
Make my heart a better place
Don't tear
me down
For all I need
Make my heart a better place
Give me
something I can believe
Don't tear it down
What's left of
me
Make my heart a better place
