I Feel Everything
Like a prima ballerina
I tip toe, tip toe around you constantly
I hear the water running
Will it wash your tears or leak through the ceiling?
Make my way up a spiral staircase
Hope to God you had a good day
Ty Lee never knew how to act around the Fire Princess. Azula was a rather moody person.
Ty Lee could never bring herself to be angry at the raven-haired girl. She had decided long ago that she would be Azula's support. She didn't know how no one else could see how damaged the girl was.
She'd long ago noticed that her friend wasn't what others would describe as normal. Azula would not let any of her emotions show. Most people who saw the princess believed her to be a cold and unfeeling person.
When you're furious
When you start to freeze
When you can't be touched
I feel everything
And when you despair
When you cannot breathe
When you wouldn't dare
I feel everything
When you're in ecstasy
But you're not with me
I feel everything
She'd feel everything for Azula. She'd be happy for her and sad for her. She'd express the emotions that Azula could not.
On a tightrope
On a wire
I'll attempt to jump through a ring of fire
I am waiting all the while
For a glimpse of something to bring us higher
One little foot in front of the other
Don't you know I'm afraid of thunder
She'd do anything for her princess. She'd done many things that she would never do simply because Azula told her to. The firebender could be a frightening person; she could be unnaturally calm and calculating.
When you're furious
When you start to freeze
When you can't be touched
I feel everything
And when you despair
When you cannot breathe
When you wouldn't dare
I feel everything
When you're in ecstasy
But you're not with me
I feel everything
She loved the other girl though she'd never tell her. She could never burden Azula with her feelings. Azula, who could never bring herself to show that sort of vulnerability. The princess hated to be thought of as weak or vulnerable.
Oh
There's a fine line between love and hurting
And knowing when to walk away
When Azula loved she hurt. She'd loved her mother who ignored her and instead focused on Zuko. Azula had issues with love.
Like a prima ballerina
I will tiptoe tiptoe around you constantly
Ty Lee would always be careful around the princess. Angering Azula was never a good thing and the raven-haired girl was already far too delicate.
When you're furious
When you start to freeze
When you can't be touched
I feel everything
And when you despair
When you cannot breathe
When you wouldn't dare
I feel everything
When you're in ecstasy
But you're not with me
I feel everything
When you can't be touched
When you can't be loved
When you fall apart
When you have no heart
I feel everything
Any time Azula began to show some of her true self she shut down, like that time on Ember Island. She'd laughed the hurt she felt away.
She couldn't ever imagine living the way Azula did: shutting down whenever you felt something.
Azula would never dare show how broken she was. It hurt Ty Lee to see the powerful bender unable to be herself.
Azula rarely seemed enjoy herself and when she did, Ty Lee drank it up.
She'd be everything for her princess, friend, and secret love. When Azula couldn't let herself be touched or loved, Ty Lee would touch and love for her.
When Azula finally fell apart, Ty Lee would be there with her to feel it all.
