Forget It

Forget It

Breaking Benjamin

It's a crime you let it happen to me

Never mind, I'll let it happen to you

Out of mind, forget it there's nothing to lose

But my mind and all the things I wanted

Ever time I get it I throw it away

It's a sign, I get it, I wanna stay

By the time I lose it I'm not afraid

Of looking at you truly fake it

How can I believe when this cloud hangs over me

You're the part of me that I don't wanna see

Forget it

There's a place I see you follow me

Just a taste of all that might come to be

I'm alone but only breath you can breathe

To question every answer coming

Just send away

Please just let me stay

Coming your way

Forget it

It's a crime you let it happen to me

Out of mind, I love it, easy to please

Never mind, forget it, just memories

On A page inside a spiral notebook

Just send away

Please let me stay

Coming your way

I can live forever here

Forget it

How can I believe when this cloud hangs over me

You're a part of me that I don't wanna see

I can live forever here


It's a crime, you let it happen to me

How could the man forgo his rigid control and allow Harry to succumb to his desires?

Never mind, I'll let it happen to you

Who cared really, when all he wanted to do was the same.

Out of mind, forget it there's nothing to lose

Forget it ever happened, for it would not happen again. He had nothing to lose by forgoing the memory, and everything to gain.

But my mind and all the things I wanted

He knew there was more at stake than what there seemed. If he just let it pass, forgot it, as he was told to, he would lose his mind and everything he desired.

Ever time I get it I throw it away

Whenever his desire lay within his reach, he pushed it to the side, condemning himself and convincing himself he was wrong to want such a thing.

It's a sign, I get it, I wanna stay

Obviously this was a sign that he was repressing something…or something. He didn't care anymore. He just wanted to stay here.

By the time I lose it I'm not afraid

By the time he lost all he had to gain, he was no longer afraid. He supposed that's just how it went.

Of looking at you truly fake it

Now he watched the other man, unabashed. Unashamed.

How can I believe when this cloud hangs over me

And yet he was plagued with doubt. How could he believe it was what he wanted when his desire so easily forwent his own coherent thought?

You're the part of me that I don't wanna see

He new they were alike. Too alike for his own comfort. Why do you think you do so well together? Why do you think you two can fuck better than anyone else you've ever been with? The voice taunted him from his thoughts. It's because you are so much like him. So dark and wrong that you two exist so very perfectly.

Forget it

Try and ignore it. Try and forget it.

There's a place I see you follow me

Was that him now?

Just a taste of all that might come to be

A kiss was by far so very insignificant when he knew there could be so much more.

I'm alone bate only breath you can breathe

Alone he asked.

To question every answer coming

And in the mans company he questioned each answer. Why? Why not? No. no. no.

Just fade away

He felt his presence ebb. The man ignored him like he wasn't there

Please let me stay

"Please…"

Coming your way

Severus Snape was caught off guard as Harry threw himself towards him.

Forget it

"Forget it, Potter. Such a profane thing is not likely to ever happen again."

It's a crime you let it happen to me

How could Snape do this to him?

Out of mind, I love it, easy to please

A part of him loved the sadistic twist of disregard. He was so easy to please yet so dissatisfied.

Never mind, forget it, just memories

What did he care anyway? All he had were memories, and they were just that. Why should he care beyond that?

On A page inside a spiral notebook

Frail memories so fragile were easily erased, easily manipulated.

Just fade away

Was he heard?

Please let me stay

"Gods…Please, Severus…"

Coming your way

Now the other man was not unprepared for the second assault.

I can live forever here

"I care not how long you could survive here, Potter. You are not wanted here."

Forget it

"Just forget it."

How can I believe when this cloud hangs over me

"Please…just once more…just once."

You're a part of me that I don't wanna see

The voices were pushed aside as Harry begged. They always were shoved away when Harry's thoughts and actions centered solely on this man.

He was pushed away, sent out the door, and his last echoes of words were closed inside the room he had just recently vacated. He slumped against the wall as his final attempt was refuted, resigned to his dwindling existence.

Please…

I can live forever here
