A/N: This song is heavily inspired by "No Good Deed" from Wicked. Also, I was imagining the same sort of magical realism for this song as in "Waiting for a Miracle", where time freezes and Mirabel walks around looking at everyone, only here it's Bruno.
Look at her
So young and innocent and dear
How could anyone so sweet
Be the cause of so much fear?
Look at them
Scared and confused and ready to condemn
They all look to me for an answer
What can I say to them?
I've always used my powers
To tell the truth and nothing more
But if the truth is used to hurt
Then what good are my powers for?
I've always been the scapegoat
For everything round here that goes wrong
If no one wants to hear the truth
Then maybe I just don't belong
So I'm sorry I ruined your wedding
And I'm sorry I ruined your lives
I'm sorry I can't tell you what you want to hear
I'm sorry that I can't do anything right
But I won't let you look at her
The way you've always looked at me
I won't let her grow up thinking
She's the rotten branch on our family tree
I won't let you shun her
I won't let you make her cry
I won't be the reason
She spends her whole life as a pariah
Oh no, not I
I would rather die
So I'll pack up my things and I'll just disappear
And you'll never know what you don't want to hear
You can believe what you want about me
But you won't take it out on her
Oh no siree
Go on, shoot the messenger, see if I care
I get the message, I'll be out of your hair
Adios, sayonara, au revoir and good day
But I'll still be right here and I'll hear you all say
"We don't talk about Bruno…"
