One
Song: Stomping the Roses
Pairing: Draco /3 Daphne (Greengrass)
PRE ASTORIA GREENGRASS
Wasting Time Just
Going Mindless
Watching your charades
When you were younger
Did it occur to you
Ten years from now
You'd act the same age
I sat on the couch, watching you jump up and down after seeing your friend come over. Just like ten years ago, when you were nine, and me and my parents went to visit you. Did this ever occur to you, that you'd be an adult but still a child?
I'm feeling crazy as I write this message to you. I'm sorry about this, Daphne.
I Cannot Carry On This Way,
Although I've Carried all your every little thing
Carry Me away
I'm sorry I have to leave.
I cannot continue on like this,
Even If I've put up with it for so long.
I've grown tired of your childish games.
I've got my eyes set on someone else.
Did You Feel Like Stomping the Roses?
Smashing out all the Feeling inside of it
It's a bad business,
The way you're stomping the roses.
Why would you stop roses?
Smashing something so beautiful and meaningful to others.
I don't understand why.
Every time I do something for you,
You stomp it all away, like you don't care.
And yet when you ask of something from me,
You make me do it without a doubt.
I was flipping Channels on my television
And It Made Me Feel Unwell
One of those Complicated Soap Operas
I almost Felt Like I was watching myself
I went to visit Granger, to mend the relationship between the trio and myself.
You know, because I couldn't go to Potter's or Weasley's unless I wanted to die.
She had a nice home in Muggle London, with all the Regular Wizard things like Floo and all.
She also had quite a few Muggle items, a Telly-Phone to contact her parents, whom she finally returned their memories to, some other stuff, and a Telly-Vision.
She was watching a "Soap Opera", a complicated Telly-Vision Show, where the man has to deal with a girl much like you.
I almost felt like I was the man and you were the girl.
Everyone knows it
I know, I know, I know
I know it's over and I
I know, I know, I know
Always been your token nice guy
I know that you rule your whole world
I thought I could live in it
But I just can't
I know that this relationship is not working out.
I know that I've always been "Mr. Nice Guy to the rescue".
I know that you have your own kingdom you live in, with you as the Queen.
I thought that I could live there, happily ever after.
But I just Can't.
So Daphne, I'm sorry. But there is no us. U and I will always remain apart in the alphabet.
I have to leave you, but we will meet again. Just in a different situation.
Yours truly,
And Truly Sorry,
Draco Malfoy
Author's Note:
This is the Songfic-ish thing for Gamma Orion's Album Challenge on HPFC!
This is from David Archuleta's latest Album "The Other Side of Down"
I saw him perform this live last year, and this year I also saw him live (But he didn't sing this.) for the Concert Shooting of his new "Soap Opera" Nandito Ako in Manila and also his Grand Fans Day Mall show. That was awesome. So yeah, He's my second favorite singer, and a great inspiration to me.
This story is Pre-Draco/Astoria. I don't really know what year Daphne is, but pretend that they're the same year. So they've been dating, and Daphne (as OOC as I put her) is acting Childish and Selfish. So Draco hands her a letter and breaks up with her. This is that letter.
Italics are the lyrics. I didn't put them all, because they're basically repeats. The Idea of "Stomping the Roses" is the boy has put up with his Childish, Immature, Selfish girlfriend and now he just can't stand it anymore.
I hope you enjoyed the first Song of "The Other Side of Down" Song-fic series! Please Alert, Favorite, Review and tell me your opinion on the first one! The next one is My Kind of Perfect!
