By my side, you'll never be
By my side, you'll never be
Draco watched her from across the street. He recognized her bright red hair almost immediately. The sight of her made his heart twinge with regret and despair.
Cos I'm fake at the seams, I'm lost in my dreams
He remembered the day he left her. He thought his feelings weren't real forher. How wrong he was. He always dreamed of marrying another aristocratic beauty, but instead he got a firey-spirited gorgeous little red-head who was rich in one thing: love.
And I want you to know, that I can't let you go.
The minute she walked out of the door, his world crashed in on him. He searched for his voice but find silence coming out of his mouth. He wanted to stop her so badly. His lapse in judgment wasn't real to him until he saw her give him one last look, one last chance.
"Draco...please...don't do this..." Ginny had begged him. "Please, Draco. You don't want this."
He couldn't say a thing. A look of complete hurt washed over her and she backed out of the doorway. "Goodbye, Draco."
And you're never coming home again
And you're never coming home again
Draco realized he would never see her again, the one that he loved more than anything in the world, the one that broke him out of his shell. She was what he needed, and he let her slip through his finger.
By my side, you'll never be
By my side, you'll never be
You'll never be
The memory brought out such a painful anger in Draco as he saw her make her way down the opposite sidewalk. He walked the same direction as her, glancing every so often to make sure she was still there.
I wanted to tell you I'd changed
I wanted to tell you that things would be different this time
Draco had changed dramatically since that fateful day. He stopped eating, sleeping, functioning overall. The realization that he had made the biggest mistake of his life made him want to waste away. His overall appearance was different. His hair had darkened slightly, from lack of sunlight, probably. His eyes showed only hurt, none of the former arrogance that used to dwell in those silver, misty orbs. Now they were slate gray and full of pain.
I see you, you see me, differently.
I see you, you see me, differently.
Draco stopped at the crosswalk, where she had. He looked up, she was staring right back at him. His heart jolted. He didn't know that hers had as well. Her face showed a look of bittersweet happiness. He approached her...
"Ginny, I-I don't know what to say. I made the biggest mistake of my life. Please, forgive me."
You tell me that you love me but you never want to see me again
"Draco, I-I'm sorry. I can't...I love you...but, I can't go through it again.
You tell me that you love me but you never want to see me again
"Gin, please...I would never...you don't know how much I suffered-"
You tell me that you love me but you never want to see me again
"Believe me, I think I know, Draco..." Tears welled up in Ginny's eyes. Eyes that used to hold such spunk and spirit that were now as blank and bottomless as Draco's.
"Ginny...I love you so much...please...just give me one more chance."
You tell me that you love me but you never want to see me again
"I love you too, Draco. But I never want to see you again..." With that, she put her head down and walked around him.
That was the moment that Draco's heart broke, and he knew no one else could ever mend it back together.

A/N: Yeah yeah it was depressing. and i used the words quite literally. 'Specially at the end. Anywho, the song was on Grey's Anatomy and it was a tearjerker. For people who don't watch that show...do it.
For people who do watch it, it was the song that was playing when Izzy was walking through hospital and she felt Denny...Dennie...whatever floats your boat.
Reviews are appreciated :D
