"I Hate Myself For Losing You"

I woke up today

Woke up wide awake

In an empty bed

Staring at an empty room

I have myself to blame

For the state I'm in today

And now dying

Doesn't seem so cruel

And oh, I don't know what to say

And I don't know anyway

Anymore

Tristan was pissed. He was devastated and it was all his fault. He'd done one of the worst things possible, and now Rory hated him. He couldn't think of a way to fix things. His life might as well be over.

I hate myself for losing you

I'm seeing it all so clear

I hate myself for losing you

What do you do when you look in the mirror

And staring at you is why she's not here?

He'd messed up. Major mess up! He didn't even have the right to blame this on anyone else. Not Rory, not even Summer. Well maybe Summer, but not much. It was mostly him. On some level he had known what he was doing, after she found out, she didn't speak to him for a whole day, then…

You got what you deserved

Hope you're happy now

'Cause everytime I think of her with you

It's killing me

Inside,

He'd ruined everything. He had hurt Rory now he was going through hell. Tristan loved Rory more than anything. He hated the fact that he'd hurt her. The old Tristan wouldn't have cared that a girl was unhappy because of him. Just another conquest.

And now I dread each day

Knowing that I can't be saved

From the loneliness

Of living without you

And, oh

I don't know what to do

Not sure that I'll pull through

I wish you knew

But, even though she had started out that way, Rory was far from being, 'just another conquest'. Now he loved her, and he had to find a way to tell her.

I hate myself for losing you

I'm seeing it all so clear

I hate myself for losing you

What do you do when you look in the mirror

And staring at you is why she's not here?

Her grandparents were no use. Even though they had known his grandfather for years, and loved him at first, the second they saw the pain in their granddaughter's eyes, they shut him out. Lorelai had always hated him. Even before she met him, she was convinced he was evil. And so he had to fix things on his own.

I hate myself for losing you

And oh, I don't know what to do

I wish you knew

And oh, I don't know what to say

And I don't know anyway

Anymore

No, no

"Why can't I stop loving you?" he asked as he lay in darkness. "Why do I have to care about your feelings?" no answers came from the pitch-black room, so he allowed the whiskey in his hand to drown out the world.

I hate myself for losing you

(I'm seeing it all so clear)

I'm seeing it all so clear

I hate myself for losing you

What do you do when you look in the mirror

And staring at you is why she's not here?

What do you say when everything's said?

Is the reason why he left you in the end?

How do you cry when every tear you shed

Won't ever bring her back again?

I hate myself for loving you

I don't really know if this is going too well, let me know what you think. Please review.
