Back Up

by LoweFantasy

When a band member quits the night before a concert, Atem's band is saved by the miraculous appearance of a girl who can replay anything she hears. As their world tour goes on, he finds himself falling hard, despite learning that her weird standards not only stop her from drinking coffee, but write him off as a romantic possibility. But is that hope he hears in the music she plays?

38. Indifferent

I'm sorry I missed yesterdays update! We went to my inlaws for Christmas and the internet didn't work there. It's working today though! So you'll have two updates. ^.^

And I don't know how to get stupid fanfiction to put the paragraph spaces where I want them, so I hope this song makes sense.

Chapter 38

You told me never to compromise,

That I was good despite what God says

And even if I stand alone, at the end,

There'd be enough goodness for me saved.

---

-chorus:

But now it's all different

Because heaven went off course,

And I'm the one who's meant to change

Even though you are the source.

The source of my indifference

---

You told me to stay on course

Because every day you saw my strength

But now I'm crumbling at the drop

That keeps you at arm's length.

You told me to not mince my words

Even though they caused you pain.

And now it bites me in the ass

Because you don't feel the same.

(chorus)

Are we so different?

That now you have to leave?

I'm not different.

And I know that's just who you are.

Can't it be okay?

That we're so different?

Or is this the blame

Waiting for me from the start?

(chorus)

You told me that you loved me?

Is that still the same?

Because I still want you

Different or how you came.
