Roy and Riza had been dating for 3 years now, since they met Edward and Alphonse to be more precise. But lately, things hadn't been going so well. With all the pressures of work, they were constantly fighting. Roy was being harassed by the higher ups about some things he wouldn't tell Riza about. Whenever she asked what was going on, he'd snap. Once, he got so mad that he hit her, and he hasn't been able to live with himself since.
Riza was walking home from work, alone, when she heard some footsteps behind her. She turned, gun in hand. When she saw it was only Roy, she tried to calm herself enough to put her gun away, but even that had been harder then usual lately.
"What is it, Roy?" He didn't look up when he spoke to her.
"Riza, about the other night..."
"Don't bring it up again, we talked about this."
"But still..." Riza sighed.
"Roy, I think we should take a break for a while. We both need some time to breathe, be alone." Roy looked up.
"But Riza, I can't live without you!" She just turned away.
"Well you'll have to, for a little while at least." Then she just walked away, and all Roy could do was watch.
(Riza)
"Just gonna stand there and watch me burn"
"Buts it's alright because I like the way it hurts" A small tear made its way down her face.
"Just gonna stand there and hear me cry"
"But that's alright because I love the way you lie"
"I love the way you lie" Then she was out of sight. Roy turned and bashed both hands against the side of HQ.
(Roy)
"I can't tell you what it really is"
"I can only tell you what it feels like" He slid down the wall until he was sitiitng against it.
"And right now there's a steel knife in my windpipe"
"I can't breathe"
"But I still fight"
"While I can fight" He got up, using the wall as assistance, and started to walk after her.
"As long as the wrong feels right"
"It's like I'm in flight"
"High of a love"
"Drunk from the hate"
"It's like I'm huffing paint and I love it more that I suffer"
"I sufficate" He took a seat in the gutter, gaining strange looks from the people walking past him.
"And right before I'm about to drown" Riza, the last person he expected to help him, offered him her hand.
"She resuscitates me" he took her hand, but didn't let go. She hit him away, glaring.
"She fuckin' hates me"
"And I love it" She turned and walked away.
"Wait"
"Where you goin?"
(Riza)
"I'm leaving you"
(Roy)
"No you ain't"
"Come back"
"We're running right back" She walked off.
"Here we go again" He flung his arms up in the air.
"It's so insane"
"Cause when it's going good"
"It's goin great"
"I'm Superman"
"With the wind in his bag"
"Shes' Lois Lane"
"But when it's bad"
"It's awful" He covered his face with his hands.
"I feel so ashamed"
"I snap" He punched the wall again, grazing his knuckle.
"Who's that dude?"
"I don't even know his name"
"I laid hands on her" He looked at his bleeding knucle.
"I'll never stoop so low again"
"I guess I don't know my own strength"
Riza was further around up the road. Part of her wanted to go see if he was ok, but another part thought the bastard deserved whatever he got.
(Riza)
"Just gonna stand there and watch me burn"
"But that's alright because I like the way it hurts" She felt herself getting angry again. She shot three holes in the wall.
"Just gonna stand there and hear me cry" She lowered her gun and rested her head against the wall.
"But that's alright because I love the way you lie"
"I love the way you lie" She leant back against the wall.
"I love the way you lie"
Roy was once again sitting against the wall. He didn't know how much longer he could stand this.
(Roy)
"You ever love someone so much"
"You can barely breathe"
"When you're with them"
"You meet" He remembered the day when they met. It was when they were young, and Roy was working under her father. They played together one day in the backyard.
"And neither one of you"
"Even know what hit em"
"Got that warm fuzzy feeling"
"Yeah them chills"
"Used to get em"
"Now you're getting fuck of sick"
"Of lookin at 'em"
"You swore you've never hit 'em"
"Never do anything to hurt 'em" He looked back down at his hand, the one he hit her with.
"Now you're in each other's face"
"Spewing venom"
"And these words"
"When you spit 'em"
"You push"
"Pull each other's hair"
"Scratch, claw, bit 'em"
"Throw 'em down"
"Pin 'em" Roy flinched at every word. It reminded him too much of that night. He hit her, and she hit back. They both did things they were ashamed of, and neither of them would speak about it.
"So lost in the moments"
"When you're in 'em"
"It's the rage that took over"
"It controls you both"
"So they say it's best"
"To go your seperate ways"
"Guess that they don't know ya"
"Cause today"
"That was yesterday" He had a sudden realisation. Maybe he could fix things, just maybe...
"Yesterday is over"
"It's a different day" He got back up and started running after her.
"Sound like a broken records"
"Playin over"
"But you promised her"
"Next time you'll show restraint"
"You don't get another chance"
"Life is no nintendo game"
"But you lied again" He slowed down a little. What if he was wrong?
"Now you get to watch her leave"
"Out the window"
"Guess that's why they call it window pane" He sped up again. He didn't care anymore. He needed her, so he would do almost anything to get her back.
Riza was sitting in the gutter. She felt so hopeless, so lonely. She heard someone approach, She looked up slightly to see Roy. He didn't come any closer, he could tell she was pissed.
(Riza)
"Just gonna stand there and watch me burn"
"But that's alright because I like the way it hurts"
"Just gonna stand there and hear me cry"
"But that's alright because I love the way you lie" She looked away again.
"I love the way you lie" She sighed.
"I love the way you lie" Roy took a step closer.
(Roy)
"Now I know we said things"
"Did things"
"That we didn't mean"
"And we fall back"
"Into the same patterns"
"Same routine"
"But your temper's just as bad"
"As mine is"
"You're the same as me"
"But when it comes to love"
"You're just as blinded" He held his hand out, but she didn't move.
"Baby please come back"
"It wasn't you"
"Baby it was me" He took another step toward her.
"Maybe our relationship"
"Isn't as crazy as it seems"
"Maybe that's what happens"
"When a tornado meets a volcano"
"All I know is"
"I love you too much"
"To walk away though" Riza hadn't noticed, but she had self-conscoiusly made her way back to their apartment.
"Come inside"
"Pick up your bags off the sidewalk" He moved the one that was next to her and sat down beside her.
"Don't you hear sincerity?"
"In my voice when I talk"
"Told you this is my fault" He tried to make her face him, but she wouldn't look.
"Look me in the eyeball"
"Next time I'm pissed"
"I'll aim my fist"
"At the dry wall" She looked at him, still angry.
"Next time"
"There will be no next time"
"I apologize" She smiled a little.
"Even though I know it's lies"
"I'm tired of the games"
"I just want her back" He took her hand in his and held it to his face.
"I know I'm a liar" He whispered very quietly under his breath, quiet enough that she didn't hear.
"If she ever tries to fuckin leave again"
"I'mma tie her to the bed"
"And set this house on fire" She looked over at him again. He just smiled and she looked away.
(Riza)
"Just gonna stand there and watch me burn" She squeezed his hand.
"But that's alright because I like the way it hurts"
"Just gonna stand there and hear me cry"
"But that's alright because I love the way you lie" She placed her forehead against his.
"I love the way you lie" She moved her lips closer to his ear.
"I love the way you lie" His breathe was ragged, but she pulled away and picked up her stuff.
"Let's go inside, it's getting late" He smiled, knowing he was forgiven, for now.
