Kind of a weird way to start this off I know, but I heard this song and immediately thought of this part of the series. It is Holly listening to 'Set Fire to the Rain' as she is walking towards Tara and thinking about what Arty told her. Please comment and tell me what you think :) Also if you want you can check out some of my other stories :) that would be much appreciated!
Adele- Set Fire to the Rain
Holly After She Learns Arty Lied to Her (Book 6)
I let it fall, my heart
And you caught it and never let it go…
And as it fell, you rose to claim it
Just like you claim everything that you think you have a right to…
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
Actually I saved you but you even took advantage of that…
My hands, they were strong, but my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms without falling to your feet
You should be at my feet begging for forgiveness…
But there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew
But I should have guessed…
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true
How could you lie to me like that?
And the games you'd play, you would always win, always win
Because I was dumb enough to play…
But I set fire to the rain
I don't even think that is possible…
Watched it pour as I touched your face
The only way I'll ever touch you again is to hit you…
Well, it burned while I cried
Inwardly, I'm not going to give you the satisfaction…
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
No more Arty, just Artemis Fowl II…
When lying with you I could stay there
Not anymore…
Close my eyes, feel you here forever
You and me together, nothing is better
That's what I used to think…
'Cause there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew
Maybe I did know, but gave you the benefit of the doubt. My mistake.
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true
You've always been a liar…
And the games you play, you would always win, always win
You're always manipulating someone. Always.
But I set fire to the rain
I could ask you to figure out how to do that but you'd end up using it against me…
Watched it pour as I touched your face
I'd rather punch it. Hard.
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
Why Artemis? Why?
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When we fell, something died
Several things, like our friendship and trust for example…
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time
That is the last time you will ever kiss me…
Sometimes I wake up by the door
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now when we're already over
Before we really even started…
I can't help myself from looking for you
Don't bet on it…
I set fire to the rain
Stupid genius…
Watched it pour as I touch your face
Really, really hard.
Well, it burned while I cried
Silent tears that are wiped away quickly…
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
You don't want to know the things I'm screaming about you in my head…
I set fire to the rain
Not even possible…
And I threw us into the flames
That's what it feels like…
When we fell, something died
Yeah, just my hopes and dreams that's all…
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, oh
Oh, no
Why?
Let it burn, oh
I trusted you...
Let it burn
Goodbye.
Let it burn
Please review ;)
