The story behind New Moon Song: heartless By: Kanye West
Chapter one heartless
"Bella, love, I'm sorry." Edward's velvet voice spoke to me. I couldn't quit tell if he meant it. He was good at hiding his emotions from me, but never this good.
"Please, you said you love me, then you said you don't want me, and then you come back and say you still love me. Edward tell me the truth this time." I begged him.
We were sitting in Charlie's small kitchen and I reached over to turn the radio on. Hip/hop started to fill the room. I really don't like music but the quietness was eating at me. If I do listen to music it's not this stuff usually, well it wasn't until all the other songs made me think of Edward.
"Since when do you listen to this type of music-if you can even call this noise music?" Edward's sweet voice asked bringing me out of my daze.
"A while I guess." I shrugged my shoulders and looked down at the table were he patted his fingers as he was being inpatient- Edward was never inpatient- he had all the time in the world.
"Can you even understand it?" He asked.
"Yes. I kind of like it." I did like it.
"Sing me a song then." Edward dared me. I'm not a very good singer.
Surprisingly I did have an idea for a song on the top of my head. I tock a deep breath and started to sing so low that a human would not be able to understand it. That would be no problem for Edward though. He could hear it just if I was yelling it out to the world.
In the night I hear them talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road
She lost her soul,
To a man so heartless
How could you be so heartless?
How could you be so
Cold as the winter wind when it breeze yo
Just remember that you talking to me yo
You need to watch the way you talking to me yo
I mean after all the things that we been through
I mean after all the things we got into
And yo I know of some things that you aint told me
Ayo I did some things but that's the old me
And now you wanna get me back
You gon' show me
So you walk round like you don't know me
You got a new friend
Well I got homeys
But at the end it's still so lonely
In the night I hear them talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road
She lost her soul,
To a man so heartless
How could you be so heartless? oh..
How could you be so heartless?
How could you be so Dr. Evil
You're bringing out a side of
Me that I don't know,
I decided we wasn't gonna speak so why are up 3 a.m. on the phone,
Why does he be so mad at me for, homey I don't know he hot and cold,
I won't stop and mess my groove up cause I already know how this thing goes,
You run and tell you're friends that you're leavin' me,
They say that they don't see what you see in me,
You wait a couple months then you gone' see,
You'll never find nobody better than me
In the night I hear them talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road
SHe lost her soul,
To a man so heartless
How could you be so heartless? oh..
How could you be so heartless?
Talkin', talkin', talkin', talk
Baby lets just knock it off
They don't know what we been through
They don't know 'bout me and you
So I got something new to see
And you just gon' keep hatin' me
And we just gon' be enemies
I know you can't believe
I could just leave it wrong
And you can't make it right
I'm gon' take off tonight
Into the night...
In the night, I hear 'em talk,
The coldest story ever told.
Somewhere far along this road, She lost her soul.
To a man so heartless...
How could you be so heartless? oh... How could you be so heartless.
"So what do you call it?" Edward asked hiding his emotion. I couldn't tell if it was because the song hurt his feelings –if he has any- or if it was for my sake. Could I be that bad a singing? Yeah I could.
"Heartless. I would have used Edward but then it never mentions your name." I sheepishly told him. I looked up at him to see what emotion his beautiful, perfect face would hold. He looked like he was a hundred miles away. What could he be thinking?
"I'm sorry." I finally apologized to him.
"What do you have to apologize to me for? Aren't I the one that should be apologizing to you?" He asked with confusion written on his flawless face.
"I shouldn't have done that. It was wrong of me."
"Bella I deserved to hear how much I hurt you. I should have never left. I just thought that it would be better that way. I thought that you would stay safe." He spoke calmly. His face wasn't looking at me but at the table.
"Edward you couldn't have possibly believe that could you? I'm a danger magnet." I reminded him. I've had a couple of close calls.
"Could you please turn that thing off." He spoke not as a question but a command. I turned it off and the room fell silent once more. I played with my hands not knowing what was going to happen.
"Tell me what you're thinking." I asked him.
"Charlie is going to be here soon. I have to go. Bye Bella." He said and then he was gone.
