The lines started playing in her head. She didn't know why, or how, but they did, and she listened.
There's something you should know
It always ends the same
I'm trying to hold onto a little piece of myself
The girl you know is so far gone
How true that was. Too much heartbreak, too many broken promises, too many "mistakes." The Jude everyone once knew was long gone, and the one that had replaced her was almost nonexistent now, too. Broken too many times, broken beyond repair. Duct tape couldn't even fix her.
Don't believe in love
I've watched it fade
Mom and dad. Her super-heroes since she was five. If they couldn't last, how could it be possible for anyone else to, specifically her?
I call out for your warm embrace
Please stop me
Tell me you want me wherever you are
She wished, oh how she wished, that he would call her and tell her to meet him somewhere. She'd go to the end of the earth for him if he would only ask her. But he wouldn't.
If it's up to me we'll never be apart
You said you didn't want me
You don't even care
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Actions speak louder than words. And the tire marks he left on the cold, hard asphalt said it all.
Friends are telling my I lost my mind
I don't know what to do
I'll keep everything I shared with you
Every damn memory they'd shared together flashed before her eyes, the good and the bad. They would stay with her until the day she died, and long after.
Let me break
No one helps me out when I bleed
I need to feel the pain
What makes me so bulletproof?
Crash into her again and again and again. Why did everyone think she would just bounce back? Everything had a breaking point, except her, apparently. Until now.
Maybe when this is over I will understand
My tears you'll taste
She'd never understand. Not today, not tomorrow, not in fifty years. Never. Because Tommy whatever-the-fuck-his-French-real-last-name was the damn 8th world wonder, and she never even understood the original seven. History was not one of her strong points.
It's such a long road that I couldn't follow
On the street I'm waiting
It's dark and I can't see my way
How long can I wait?
For him, forever.
I'll find my own way home if I gotta
And headlights in my eyes...
Literally. With a speeding car behind them.
