Disclaimer: I do not own Roxette's lyrics to Fading like a Flower. I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! I am simply a fan to both.
Summary: This is a short song fic on Tea's feelings when everyone of the gang knows Yami has left her for Ishizu, but were not going to tell her. After he tells her, this is her thoughts listening to this song. I know it's weak and short, but please review.
Fading like a Flower
In a time where the sun descends alone,
I ran a long long way from home
To find a heart that's made of stone.
Love. What does it mean? A power to strong to understand. Yet, I want it. I crave it. I need it. And to you this means nothing. How can I ever make you understand the hurt you put me through. My feelings were such a joke among you and our friends. It's funny how things turn out.
I will try,
I just need a little time
To get your face right out of my mind,
Funny, how everyone has an opinion on my life. It's funny how I don't meet anyone expectations of what I should be or how I should be. How can I change, when this is my life? This is my pain, my thoughts, my happy memories…
You thought it would work. You told me we could make it work. I put in the effort. I was willing to make it work. But this means nothing to you. I mean nothing to you. I am as worthless as I was the first time we met.
To see the world through different eyes.
How I wish I could see you differently. The way you use to be. Now these new memories will consume me. I'm trapped in your darkness. I'm unable to see.
Every time I see you,
Oh I try to hide away,
They all wonder why I can't be near them. I refuse to be near you. Your eyes stare me down, and I feel this is my fault. I can't believe the stuff I've been put through by my friends, and now this. I can't believe how many times they've let me down, and yet here I am, supportive, listening Tea. How would anyone know?
But when we meet it seems I can't let go.
Every time you leave the room,
I need the time to myself, how can I make this clear? My friends think that I deserve better, but they know what I'm capable of. I don't deserve anyone. I will be forced to be alone.
I feel like I'm fading like a flower.
Does anyone understand what I'm going through? How could they know? They were all part of this little plot. So much for the friendship I think so heavily of.
Tell me why?
Why? Why anything…It's so depressing. Once again left at the drop of a hat for someone who they will never get. It's so hard to think about anything right now. The pain hurts, but yet I need to get over it. HA! Getting over it would be fine, if no one mentioned this again, if he wasn't part of the group, if my friends had warned me of this…
When I scream there's no reply,
When I reach there's nothing to find,
When I sleep I breakdown and cry.
I can't deal with this…I need to find a friend…someone who's been through this…someone who understands this pain, this hurt, this …I can't even explain my feelings, how sad is that?
Every time I see you,
Oh I try to hide away,
It's horrible…but I need to move on, but I don't want too. It's not fair. Why can't I fuse my two split feelings..
But when we meet it seems I can't let go.
Every time you leave the room,
I feel I'm fading like a flower.
I will become isolated from everyone. I'll keep my feelings buried. This way no one will know. This way no one can say anything. This way I won't see you in my eyes.
Fading like a rose,
Fading like a rose,
Beaten by the storm
I'll finally give in to what you want: what others seem to want. Well this is it. I surrender.
Talking to myself,
Getting washed by the rain,
It's such a cold cold town.
