Paul Mc Cartney: "We Can Work It Out" – Robert and Cersei

Try to see it my way

Do I have to keep on talking, till I can't go on?

While you see it your way

You run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone

.

We can work it out,

We can work it out

.

Think of what you're saying

You can get it wrong and still you think that it's all right

Think of what I'm saying,

We can work it out and get it straight or say goodnight

.

We can work it out,

We can work it out

.

Life is very hard and there's no time

For fussing and fighting my friend

I have always thought that it's a crime

So I will ask you once again

.

Try to see it my way

Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong

While you see it your way

There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long

.

We can work it out,

We can work it out

.

Life is very hard …

Try to see it my way …

We can work it out

We can work it out

.

I always thought that deep down, Robert had loved Cersei. Maybe he was infatuated with Lyanna at the beginning, but he did try to love Cersei. And even though Cersei had always wanted to be with Jamie, she did earnestly try to give her relationship with Robert a chance. But after years of hurt and neglect, their relationship was beyond saving.

This was inspired by that scene in season 1, before the manure hit the fan. They are sharing a drink, being completely honest with each other, reminiscing over their time together and ruing a fact they both knew: they did not love each other any more (but at least they could agree on that).

As far as arranged marriages go, I believe they could have been happy if they had tried. Ned and Catelyn's beginning was a lot rockier than theirs. So was Daenerys and Khal Drogo's. And yet, these couples shared a bond not even death could break.

So, cheers to a chance not taken.

Bottoms up everybody! Mead, ale or, wine!
