Don't Stay

Author's note: Well, I had to do something with all the creative energy and since I couldn't write on my LOTR-fic, I decided to write this. It's been in my head for some time now, but I never really wrote it down. I think that the bitterness and rage in Linkin Park's lyrics describe quite well how some of the characters can feel and think in the different situations from the books.

Disclaimer: Blah, blah, blah - not mine, you get my point.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
*~*~*~*~*

[Sometimes I need to remember just to breathe]

I can't believe I let you fool me like this

[Sometimes I need you to stay away from me]

Then, as if your betrayal wasn't big enough, you took me away from what was my responsibility

[Sometimes I'm in disbelief I didn't know]

I should've known it was you

[Somehow I need you to go]

And now that I need you again, will you betray me once more?

~*~

[Don't stay]

Just give me the chance and I'll have my revenge

[forget our memories, forget our possibilities]

Don't expect me to show you mercy

[what you were changing me into]

They think I killed you

[just give me myself back and don't stay]

Nothing can take it back

[forget our memories, forget our possibilities]

He was you idol

[take all your faithlessness with you]

Some day, I'll ask you what you asked me

[just give me myself back and don't stay]

How could you?

~*~

[Sometimes I feel like I trusted you too well]

It was my idea

[Sometimes I just feel like screaming at myself]

Was it my fault as well?

[Sometimes I'm in disbelief I didn't know]

Was it my betrayal?

[Somehow I need to be alone]

No time to think or you'll slip from my grip again

~*~

[Don't stay]

I'll show you how it feels

[forget our memories forget our possibilities]

Things can never be the same

[what you were changing me into]

He'll think I'm a murderer

[just give me myself back and don't stay]

I won't hide anymore

[forget our memories forget our possibilities]

You are where I should be

[take all your faithlessness with you]

Forgiveness was never an option

[just give me myself back and don't stay]

Give me my life back

~*~

[I don't need you anymore]

I'll kill you and we'll be even

[I don't want to be ignored]

You'll see what I have seen

[I don't need one more day of you wasting me away]

Suffer as I have suffered

~*~

[Don't stay]

I'm closer than you think

[forget our memories, forget our possibilities]

I'm not alone anymore

[what you were changing me into]

He will know the truth now

[just give me myself back and don't stay]

He will see your true form

[forget our memories, forget our possibilities]

Twelve years of self-accusation

[take all your faithlessness with you]

Self-hatred

[just give me myself back and]

Self-pity

[Don't stay]

I saved it all for you
