I don't own anything. I own nothing. This song is "When It Rains" -By Eli Young Band
Ok, a little switch up from Jalice, this is Charlie's POV! Go Charlie! Well, its kinda sad...
Give me skies of black and blue, the way you make me feel
Forks is a very rainy city, the sun just about never comes out. And while most of the time the sky is grey, the thunderstorms make the sky darker than usual. Just like the day my Renee left, and just like how I feel.
Give me skies of green and red, cold winds will make it real
The winds are stronger, making the day colder than it already was. But it can't compare to the coldness of when she left.
Storms are brewing deep within of hurt and loss of pride
When she left she took my whole world. She was my life, and she stormed out, leaving me stunned and hurt; but I knew it was my fault.
It's good to see the world in pain when I take a walk outside.
It's good to see I'm not the only one in pain in the world. I enjoy the thunderstorms that blow through Forks.
When it rains, I don't mind being lonely
Watching the rain fall, all alone in my house, is a good way to think. But of course she is all I ever think about, and it brings me down.
I cry right along with the sky
Sometimes, when it gets really bad, I let it all out. Hey, guys cry too, sometimes that pain is just too much.
When it rains, I don't pretend to be happy
Ever since she left, not many things can put a smile on my face. And I don't even try to act happy, everyone in Forks knows my problem. So why should I try to cover it up?
I don't even have to try
Every now and then I even get sympathetic looks from people. I just grimace, say hello and walk on.
When it rains, some people get down to sportin' a frown
Some people don't like the rain. Why would you move to Forks if you don't like the rain? And visitors to up here are just about always frowning. They don't expect it to be this rainy.
So I fit right in
So I'm frowning along with them, stuck in my pain and loneliness.
Yeah the sun may brighten your day but if I had my way I'd take the rain
She loved the sun, and the rain up here was probably another reason she left. But while she might like the sun, I like the rain.
I don't care about politics or the hypocrites on my T.V.
I don't pay attention to those politics on t.v. Sports are just about the only thing I will watch on t.v now. Simple things like that used to make me happy.
I'm not mad at the girl who left because she couldn't be with me
I could never be mad at Renee for leaving me. I blame myself for not being interesting enough for her.
So make up the theories about the scandals and the lies
At first there were a lot of rumors about why she stormed out. But I just told them that she and I just didn't work out, and every time my heart broke more and more.
Start out depressed, everything comes as a pleasant surprise
I was depressed for a long, long time. Eventually, I crawled out of my hole, and just accepted the fact that she was gone. No, I didn't like it at all, but I couldn't just stay like that forever.
When it rains, I don't mind being lonely
The pain is still there, and possibly stronger than ever.
I cry right along with the sky
I was a mess, and sometimes I still am. And the pain is not something you get used to.
When it rains, I don't pretend to be happy
The emptiness in my heart is a terrible aching. And I can't truly be happy without her.
I don't even have to try
I don't try to look as though I'm happy when I'm not. My pain can not be masked by a fake smile.
When it rains, some people get down to sportin' a frown
My reason for smiling left me, every once in a while, some one can magically get me to smile.
So I fit right in
But I'm usually frowning, and feeling that emptiness.
Yeah the sun may brighten your day but if I had my way I'd take the rain
The rain reminds me that it could be worse. I like the rain because it reflects how I feel. Grey, with no reason to keep going, and sad, because I know that I'm the reason behind my own pain.
When it rains, I don't mind being lonely
Me and Billy go through the same kind of pain. –I have no idea when Billy's wife died but let's assume it was shortly after Renee left- His wife died just a few weeks after Renee left. So I'm not the only one with this unbearable pain.
I cry right along with the sky
But he doesn't have to live with the guilt like I do. I was the reason she went away. I was too boring; I couldn't make her happy enough.
When it rains, I don't pretend to be happy
There are so many things I could have done, but never did. I don't deserve to be happy.
I don't even have to try
And I'm not going to start thinking other wise anytime soon.
When it rains, I don't mind being lonely
Not only did she walk away from my life, but our daughter Bella hasn't come here in a while. She used to come every summer, but it's been so long. So while Bella should be here, I'm here all alone.
I cry right along with the sky
My life hasn't been easy, but I know it could be worse. But when this pain overwhelms me, I cry with the sky.
When it rains, I don't pretend to be happy
They are the two best things that ever happened to me. And they are gone, and I can't be happy.
I don't even have to try
My story is not a happy one, and people understand why I rarely smile.
When it rains, some people get down to sportin' a frown
A frown and pain is my constant companion, except when I think about them. Renee's name can sometimes bring a slight smile to my face, but then it comes with all the pain doubled.
So I fit right in
I usually lead the crowd when it comes to frowns –haha almost rhyme-
Yeah the sun may brighten your day but if I had my way I'd take the rain
Rain in Forks is a reminder of what I did, but I would rather have the rain. The sun symbolizes her, and I would die of heartache if I had to be reminded of her beauty everyday. She loved the sun, and moved to a place with plenty of it. The rain is constant in Forks. That's why I stayed here, cause I'll take the rain.
I case anyone is readin this. If not then, oh well.
