Song is "Apologize" by Timbaland feat. OneRepublic.
I'm
holding on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground.
And I'm
hearing what you say,
But, I just can't make a sound.
You tell
me that you need me,
Then you go and cut me down.
But,
wait...
You tell me that you're sorry,
Didn't think I'd turn
around and say…
"So what went wrong now?" EJ had said.
It was well into nighttime by now. The sky was pitch black and the moon was shining in through the windows on either side of the front door.
Sami heard the question, but she couldn't answer it. The truth was, she knew that she was probably overreacting. She really did believe that EJ had no intention of hurting Roman, but it was still his fault, in a way, that it had happened.
Finally finding her voice, Sami said, "I just…don't understand…why, why would you let Andre into your house? Why couldn't you just tell me right away that he was back in Salem so we could stop him?"
"Samantha, I told you. I wanted to protect you. I truly didn't believe that anything like this would happen. Now I realize what a complete idiot I was to think that at all."
Sami didn't say anything. She felt literally torn in two.
"Sweetheart, I'm sorry," EJ said. "I don't know what else to say."
That
it's too late to apologize, it's too late.
I said, it's too late
to apologize, it's too late.
The tiniest of sobs escaped from Sami's throat. "EJ, it's too late for that. My dad was shot. He's in the hospital at the hands of Andre again. "Sorry" isn't going to fix that."
EJ sighed in frustration. He couldn't believe how stubborn Samantha was being. Normally, he liked that side of her, but this was a little much, especially since it was being directed towards him. "What do you want from me, then?"
"I don't know," Sami said. She honestly did not know what she wanted from him. She knew nothing he could say or do would reverse what had happened to her father.
However, she also knew that she would never be able to leave EJ for good. Maybe she would be gone for a night or two, but she'd never be able to stay away longer than that. She'd risked everything she had to be with EJ and she would do it again in a heartbeat.
I'd
take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you.
And I need
you like a heart needs a beat
(But that's nothing new).
"What are we doing, Samantha?" EJ asked. "What has this come to? I love you, sweetheart. Are you trying to say that you don't feel that anymore?"
EJ had put on a brave face, but inside he could feel himself slowly dying. If Sami indeed retracted the fact that she was hopelessly, deeply in love with him…he didn't know what he'd do.
"I do still feel that way, EJ. I can't change that. I've always loved you, no matter what you said or did. So yes, I still love you. But it's just so hard…" She broke off, another sob making its way out of her trembling body. "EJ, I placed you on a pedestal above everyone else in my life. But now…"
Sami couldn't continue. She felt she would completely lose control and fall apart if she went on. She could see what her words were doing to EJ and she couldn't stand to hurt him any more.
I
loved you with a fire red, now it's turning blue.
And you
say,
"Sorry" like the angel Heaven let me think was you.
But,
I'm afraid…
EJ didn't say anything. He didn't know what to do anymore. He slowly sank to the floor, his back against the staircase. He put his head in his hands, giving up on the conversation. He didn't have the strength to continue.
He could tell her he was sorry a million times over and it wouldn't make a difference. As she had said, he knew it was too late for "I'm sorry's." The best thing he could do for her right now, would be to let her go. Let her go and get everything out of her system. When she was ready to come back to him, she would. He didn't know how long that would take, but he was willing to wait for her.
It's
too late to apologize, it's too late.
I said, it's too late to
apologize, it's too late.
It's too late to apologize, it's too
late.
I said, it's too late to apologize, it's too late.
I
said, it's too late to apologize.
I said, it's too late to
apologize.
Sami took one last glance at EJ, crumpled on the floor, before picking up the twins' carriers. She wanted to say something to him, but she didn't know what. So she opened the door and left the DiMera mansion.
I'm
holding on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground...
