Not Enough
To love somebody naturally
To love somebody faithfully
To love somebody equally
Is not enough, it's not enough
It's not enough
I'd loved him for such a long time, never sharing my feelings with anyone. With my luck, telling somebody else would make them fall in love with him. Frank, every time I saw him I just wished that I could tell him. But since he and Len got their own body's girls have been all over them. Len is with Iris, but then Iris is prettier than a lot of their fans. Me on the other hand…I don't have the good luck to be considered good looking. Well bad luck is better than no luck I guess, oww, another brick just hit me in the head; lovely.
To love somebody secretly (And never touch)
To love somebody honestly (And always trust)
To love somebody tenderly
The tender touch is not enough
It's not enough
I loved him in secret for ages…and when I tried to come clean with my feelings…he-he would change the conversation…he never did give me a proper answer, its not like I expected him to like me back anyways.
Love hurts you sometimes
It's not so easy to find, no
Searchin' everywhere, you turn and swear (Ahh-ahh-ahh)
It's always been there
Love does hurt, that's the thing I learnt when I seen him kiss Matilda, one of their groupies, on the lips. Matilda was tall and pale with lush black hair and sparkling blue eyes, she wore ten pounds of makeup on her skinny face and dressed in netted tights and spikes and leather, she looked like a freaking dominatrix or a Gothic stripper…which is probably what she was.
To love somebody foolishly (Can happen once)
To love somebody hopelessly (It hurts so much)
To love somebody equally
Is not enough, it's not enough
It's not enough
Loving someone foolishly…hopelessly is agonizing; pray that you never have to go through it. Seeing Frank and Matilda, watching their bond silently grow was horrible…it really broke me. Lucky Ruby was there to pick up the pieces…but she could never understand what I had to endure, she was happily obliviously with Skullboy.
Love takes a little time
It's not so easy to find, no, no
Searchin' everywhere, you turn and swear
It's always been there
Standin' there....
Oh!
I searched everywhere...but there was no one for me but Frank, I only wish he could see it. But when he looks at me he sees plain old depressing Misery, when she cracks a smile mirrors break, when she sings she sounds like a screaming banshee. But apparently my banshee of a singing voice was exactly what Frank and Len needed, so I got to perform with them at Gloomapalooza which was absolutely amazing…except for Iris and *sigh* Matilda throwing themselves at the two guitarists on stage.
And if it don't come easily
One thing you must believe
You can always have trust in me
'Cause my heart will always be, yours honestly
I believed though, despite how sad I may appear…I have heart and I believed that one day Frank would realize that I loved him and that seeing him with Matilda was slowly tearing my heart apart. And one day I approached him on the tour bus, eyes downcast and teary as usual; he was slicking back his blue back hair and fiddling with his newly pierced bottom lip. "Hey Frank" I said quietly in my flat macabre voice.
"Hey Misery" Frank smiled lopsidedly then hissed in pain and twisted the ring in his swollen lip. "You ready for the next show?"
"Yeah" I said, letting my voice float to him airily "Frank" I sighed and pushed back my blanket of purple hair
"Mhmm?" Frank looked expectantly at me and I shut my eyes tightly for a moment
"How-How're you and Matilda?" I stalled, trying to figure out how to tell him my true feelings
Frank stared at me skeptically "Come on Mis, I know you didn't come back here to ask me about Tilda, I want the truth"
"I-I" *sigh* "I love you Frank and I've felt that way for such a long time" There I had finally spit it out, he wanted the truth, he got it. Flat out and in his face, like there was a sign studded with fluorescent lights that read 'Misery loves you' or that I was decked out in a t-shirt that said 'I heart Frank' across it…well maybe I'm over exaggerating a little but he got the point one way or another.
"O-oh" his lips fell open and he rubbed the back of his neck, his face had considerably reddened. He walked over so that we stood straight in front of eachother. He seized my shoulders, his eyes flickering with something; fire, excitement? "You've felt this way for a long time and never thought to tell me"
"I tried…but you would always change the conversation and then-then you got with Matilda" I sighed, another fat tear plopping down my so-pale-that-it-was-blue face.
"Oh" Frank sounded stunned "I never realized that I always changed the topic…and…Matilda" he sighed "I know she's bedded down every single male in Gloomsville, I-I don't really love her. I've always had feelings for someone else"
"Oh" I said, what a surprise, he was in love with someone else, probably his brother's girlfriend Iris. "Who?"
Frank shook his head with a small smile "You Misery, you"
When he leaned down to kiss me I was still in shook, so at first I didn't kiss him back, but then I did. We kissed hard and long, his tongue trailed over my bottom lip, I opened my mouth allowing him entrance. He pushed me up against the mirror, one hand slipping up the back of my purple corset while the other cupped my thigh and played with the fabric of my black and white spider web lace skirt. I moaned into the kiss and my fingers dug into the back of Frank's neck.
"You guys" sighed Len "The show starts in five…" he stopped, seeing his twin brother and I lip locked leaning against the mirror. "Umm…I-I'll leave you to it"
Yeah! Love hurts you sometimes
Not so easy to find, no-oh
Searchin' everywhere, you turn and swear (Ahh-ahh-ahh)
It's always been there, standin' there
Love hurts you sometimes
It's not yours; it's not mine, no-oh
Love is only to share
You turn and swear (Ahh-ahh-ahh) it's everywhere
Standin' there (Ahh-ahh)
'Cause it's always been there
I laughed and we continued kissing, suddenly there was a loud crack. I jumped up and the mirror came crashing to the floor
"Seven years of bad luck?" chuckled Frank
I just giggled and shook my head "No way, this is the best luck I've had in years"
"Come on" Frank took my hand in his "Shows gonna start"
Yes, love does hurt sometimes…but in the end it's always worth it.
