Even if you were a million miles away I could still feel you in my bed Near me, touch me, feel me.

And even at the bottom of the sea I could still hear inside my head Telling me, touch me, feel me And all the time, you were telling me lies.

So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had Tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you.

Have you ever tried sleeping with a broken heart? Well, you could try sleeping in my bed Lonely, own me, nobody ever shut it down like you.

You wore the crown You made my body feel heaven bound Why don't you hold me, need me? I thought you told me you'd never leave me.

Looking in the sky, I can see your face And then I know right where I fit in Take me, make me, you know that I'll always be in love with you Right 'til the end.

Anybody could've told you right from the start it's 'bout to fall apart So rather than hold on to a broken dream, I'll just hold on to love And I can find a way to make it, don't hold on too tight I'll make it without you tonight.

His eyes snapped open, a ragged sob rising in his throat as he sat straight up in bed, drenched in sweat. It took a moment for him to realize that he had been sleeping, he had been engrossed in a powerful dream, his Devil had been trying to show him the mistakes he had made, the pain he was denying himself. The love he was running from…

He shook his head, his lower lip beginning to quiver as he fought down the pain, but his Devil refused to allow it. It wanted him to know the full brunt of the pain that he needed to know. Needed to finally feel, so he could understand everything he had so quickly given up before he could even grasp it fully.

"S-Stop speaking lies!" He shouted, pulling himself from bed as he strode over to the mirror in his bedroom, glaring at the reflection, his breathing slowly beginning to pick up. It was an agonizing image, to see that face, those eyes glaring back at him. Those…eyes…

"NO!" He balled his fist, raising it back before slamming it into the mirror. The shards fell down around him, crashing to the floor as he lowered his hand, still seeing those eyes glaring back at him, those bright blue eyes slowly softened as tears had finally began to roll down his cheeks. "S-Stop it…stop it…"

As he fell to the floor, he looked down at the shards of broken glass and his shattered dreams, seeing his twin, the one he forced himself to avoid, to stay away from. Seeing that heart breaking smile, those eyes, that gait, everything. His smile shone through the broken shards, ripping his heart apart. "N-No…stop it…please make it stop!"

He bowed his head, before a determined glare flashed in his eyes as he shoved the glass away. "I have to find a way to make it without you…so rather then hold on to a broken dream…I'll…hold onto an empty love that will never be. So tonight…" He slowly stood up, looking down at the slowly healing wounds on his hands. "I'll find a way to make it without you…"

With that, he turned his back on those memories, that love, acceptance and his brother.
