A/N: This might take a little explaining. These are L's thoughts, in song form, about Light. I wrote this as though L always knew Light was Kira (which I think he actually did, but you never know).
I own nothing; not the song, not the characters, and (most heartrendingly of all) not Death Note.
Step one; I say we need to talk
He bolts, I say sit down, it's just a talk
He stares warily back at me
Into his thoughts I try to see
Some sort of window to his mind
He goes wrong and I still try
To save his soul from fear and blame
Working hard to play this deadly game
Where did he go wrong, he lost his friends
Somewhere along in the bitterness
He had a different sense of wrong and right, oh
If I'd known how to save a Light
I let him know that I knew best
I tried and tried to explain the rest
Tried to slip past his defense
The situation grew intense
I showed him all his thoughts were wrong
Things I've told him all along
I prayed to God he heard me
And prayed to God he heard me
Where did he go wrong, he lost his friends
Somewhere along in the bitterness
He had a different sense of wrong and right, oh
If I'd known how to save a Light
He begins to raise his voice
I lower mine, and grant him one last choice
Play the game 'till it gets old
Or take this hand of cards and fold
He will do one of two things
He'll admit to everything
Or he'll keep going on in this game
Striving more to guess my name
Where did he go wrong, he lost his friends
Somewhere along in the bitterness
He had a different sense of wrong and right, oh
If I'd known how to save a Light
Where did he go wrong, he lost his friends
Somewhere along in the bitterness
He had a different sense of wrong and right, oh
If I'd known how to save a Light
How to save a Light
How to save a Light
Where did he go wrong, he lost his friends
Somewhere along in the bitterness
He had a different sense of wrong and right, oh
If I'd known how to save a Light
Where did he go wrong, he lost his friends
Somewhere along in the bitterness
He had a different sense of wrong and right, oh
If I'd known how to save a Light
How to save a Light
How to save a Light
It was so hard to make that match the song. Please R+R, flames will be used to fuel my brain.
