you watch
as she calls out to you,

"hey, wait up! ethan!"

{but you don't wait}
{you know you will never be able to have her}

you continue
to move away from her
as you remember
when you first

in love
with her.

(oh, you poor boy)
(don't you know that memories only bring pain?)
[even the happiest ones are the saddest because you know they will never happen again]

{it started as a dull, throbbing, aching pain}
[that's how it always starts]
{and every time you think of her it gets sharper}
(and now, you dear boy, it feels like knives)
[they stab you over and over with each breath you take]

you never even knew this kind of pain even
existed.

{but the sad truth is that it does}

her call has faded by now
into the distance
but you are no longer listening

{you are trapped in your memories and your pain}

but something inside of you
is calling for
lacy
begging her
to save you and take away your pain.

(but you dear poor boy, you know she won't save you)

and something stirs and responds

{and you realize she caught up to you}
[and grabbed your hand]
{which is definitely not helping}

and she pulls you free.
the familiar pain returns as you
watch her catch her breath
and smile.

{her smile lights up the whole freaking universe, and you feel whole again}
(you beautiful son of revenge, you're so much in love that it could kill you)
