Leave
It's amazing how you make your face just like a wall
How you take your heart and turn it off
How I turn my head and lose it all
"It's over Tess. I'm sorry but us, this. We can't do it. I'm in love with Liz and she wants to try and make it work. I know that you think we're supposed to be together but things change and maybe if there wasn't Liz around things could be different..." I turn away. I put my head down and tune him out. Max was breaking up with me. He was telling I could never mean to him what Liz meant. How could this happen? She comes back and wants him and I'm dropped like a sack of potatoes? He must thinking I'm upset at him. And I am but God I hate her. What did I do? What is it that I ever do? Love him? Devote my entire being to him? And he rejects me. Time after time. For that little science geek. And he's just standing there not even the least bit emotional. He probably wants to get this over with a soon as he can. Why not? The sooner he gets me out of his life he can go play house with Liz.
It's unnerving how one wrong move puts me by myself
There you go just trusting someone else
Now I know I put us both through hell
"How can you do this?" I ask crying. God I'm doing a human thing. A stupid human thing. Something Liz would do. I am begging him to stay here with me. I'm pathetic.
"How can you trust her? She doesn't know what it's like for us. She thinks she does because you show her. I can give you what you need. The things you don't know you need. Please." He comes up to me then and I have hope for us. For a second. I look up at him from the chair I've seemed to slump into. At least until he stops reaching for me. He backs off again. I wipe the tears from my face.
I'm not saying there was nothing wrong
I just didn't think you'd ever get tired of me
I'm not saying we ever had the right to hold on
I just didn't want to let it get away from me
"I'm sorry Tess. You know that this will never work. I know it will never work. I just.. I just needed time to figure it out I guess. I've..I've got the life I want with Liz. I can't help it. I never meant to hurt you. I really didn't. I love you, just it's not like the way I-"
"The way you love her. Yeah I know. You can't have it both ways Max. I'm not going to be there for you. Not next time. Not when she gets scared and runs away again. I'm not going to be there to listen to you cry. We've done this too many times."
"I know you won't Tess. I don't expect you too. But It will work. This time Liz and I are going to work. I should have never went to you. I'm sorry it was wrong of me."
But if that's how it gonna leave
Straight out from underneath
Then we'll see who's sorry now
If that's how it's gonna stand, when
You know you've been depending on
The one you're leaving now
The one you're leaving out
"You're sorry? You're apologizing to me? You don't have the right to apologize to me. Screw you Max. I tried, God how I tried to make this work. But if this is how you want it fine." I turned. I start to walk away if I look at his face for one more second I might just kill him. God I hate how this hurts. Why does he have to make me hurt like this? And why didn't I see this coming? I walk past Isabel sitting in the living room. God the Evens' house, how I hate this house. But that's it, it's over. The only thing I can do is walk away. He's not even coming after me. That bastard, shows how little I mean. And I've been there, from the beginning. Every step, he needed me I was there. How many times did Liz break up with him? She should know by now it is our destiny to be together. And now he's leaving me. Me, his queen.
Tell me is that how it's going to end
When you know you've been depending on
The one you're leaving now
And the one you're leaving out
The End
It's amazing how you make your face just like a wall
How you take your heart and turn it off
How I turn my head and lose it all
