Chapter 6: Let Me Go
"Woooo! Yeah Gracia!" cheered Hughes, some how getting his hands on some fans with his wife's face on them and waving them around eagerly as she and a very hesitant Shezka got up on the stage. Roy tugged his friend back into his seat and gave him a dsiapproving look.
"She's only two f eet away from you. You don't have to yell."
"I know, but doesn't she look great up there. She's got a great singing voice." he informed and began babbling to his uninterested friend.
"Relax, Shezka!" called Winry brightly. "You'll be fine." she said as the music began to play. Shezka let out a nervous laugh and just waved.
GRACIA: one more kiss could be the best thing
one more lie could be the worst
and all these thoughts are never resting
and you're not something i deserve
in my head there's only you now
this world falls on me
in this world, there's real and make believe
this seems real to me
Hughes was tugging excitedly on Roy's arm, continuing to ramble about how beautiful his wife was, not noticing Roy was trying to get away.
BOTH: you love me, but you dont know who i am
i'm torn between this life i lead
and where i stand
you love me, but you don't know who i am
so let me go
let me go
SHEZKA (nervously): i dream we head to what i hope for
and i turn my back on loving you
(finally getting into it)how could this love be a good thing
when i know what i'm going through
in my head there's only you now
this world falls on me
in this world, there's real and make believe
this seems real to me
BOTH: you love me, but you dont know who i am
i'm torn between this life i lead
and where i stand
you love me, but you dont know who i am
so let me go, just let me go
GRACIA: no matter how hard i try
i cant escape these things inside
i know, i know
SHEZKA: but all the pieces fall apart
you will be the only one who knows
who knows
BOTH: you love me, but you dont know who i am
i'm torn between this life i lead
and where i stand,
you love me, but you don't know who i am
so let me go
just let me go
you love me, but you dont
you love me, but you dont
you love me, but you dont know who i am
you love me, but you dont
you love me, but you dont
you love me, but you dont know me...
The group clapped, mostly for Shezka since she was so nervous about getting up there. "That was lovely." said Al brightly and she blushed.
"Thanks you guys. Gracia did better, but that's cuz I was nervous." she said sheepishly.
"You did well considering." said Falman and smiled at her. Shezka grinned and nodded. Gracia patted the girl on the shoulder.
"You did wonderfully. I didn't know you had it in you." she said. Hughes made his way up to the stage waving around the mic.
"So, who wants to go next?" he asked and suddenly Ed raised his hand eagerly.
"I've got a song! Al, c'mon." he said, yanking his younger brother towards the stage.
