NOTE: Don't own Gundam Wing or "Breaking the Habit". Inspired by spanksizzle27's songfic of the same song. Possibly going to turn this into a story...

He jerks back to reality as she starts screaming again
Past lives fading from his eyes
"You're pathetic, you're useless!"
Inside he knows that it's all true

Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
(unless I try to start again)

He doesn't fight back anymore as she hits him
Her black hair as dark as her heart
"Don't say that, you know I love you."
She always like this sober

I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused

He retreats into the bedroom slamming the door
The cell phone lays in his hand
"They don't want to hear from me."
Not after the things I said.

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight

He looks at her as she is sleeping in the bed
The needles on the bedroom floor
"I'm sorry but I can't be here anymore."
The bathroom door closes behind him

Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again

He sits on the bathroom floor against the door
Heart pounding, tears streaming
"I don't want to hurt."
The loneliness eats away at him

I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused

He allows the hollowness to surround him
Standing up, body shaking
"I can't do this anymore."
The words echo into the night.

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight

He walks over the the bathroom sink
Angrily punching the mirror
"If only this nightmare will end."
Blaming himself for everything

I'll paint it on the walls
'Cause I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends

He looks down at the sharp metal razor
Scars covering his arms
"I'm going to stop hurting."
The moonlight washes over his body

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
To show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight

He breathes in cold night air once more
Fingers pushing familiar buttons
"It's okay, we're all on our way."
In his heart somehow he knows it's true

He glances back at the front door behind him
A sense of calm not felt for a long time
"I'm breaking the habit"
Stepping into the stream of people, letting the living take him away.
