Episode: 4x02 The Right Stuff
Summary: The last amendment to their sweetest downfall.
Pairing(s): House/Cameron, Chase/Cameron
Song: The Fray - All At Once
There are certain people you just keep coming back to
She is right in front of you
She's there. She's always there. She always has been.
(She always will be?)
You begin to wonder could you find a better one
Compared to her now she's in question
She was always there, and you never noticed. You never cared enough to take a second glance.
So as she stands before you, smiling that familiar smile, you wonder when it became so comfortable.
You wonder when you got so far in that you could believe in hallucinations of her walking the hospital halls.
You are in too deep.
And all at once the crowd begins to sing
Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same
But won't it all end the same anyway? It's time to break the cycle. It really is time to let go.
(You are backing a losing argument)
Maybe you want her, maybe you need her
Maybe you started to compare to someone not there
"Cameron is not perfect."
Your own words. You spoke them when she left the first time. She's left you again. Now it's for good.
(She's not yours)
You begin to question your own judgement. Maybe this time you got it wrong.
Looking for the right one you line up the world to find
Where no questions cross your mind
You put her through every test, struggled through every complication, but it was never enough. Nothing she did would ever convince you to give in.
(Resistance was the first sign of defeat)
The whirlwind inside of your head only fuelled your paranoia.
Neither of you could ever be good enough.
But she won't keep on waiting for you without a doubt
Much longer for you to sort it out
You just never understood that she would change, even if you couldn't.
(Naivety, something you would never admit to)
"All change is bad? It's not true, you know."
And all at once the crowd begins to sing
Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same
She's different, there's no doubt about it. She's grown into something you cannot recognize. Something you wish you could take credit for.
But this is not your doing. You have no reason to feel such pride.
Maybe you want her, maybe you need her
Maybe you started to compare to someone not there
Maybe you want it, maybe you need it
Maybe it's all you're running from
Perfection will not come
Cameron is not perfect. She's not perfect. But she's…
Maybe she was right.
Maybe you want her, maybe you need her
Maybe you had her, maybe you lost her to another
"They're engaged now…"
You fumbled for a single coherent thought after you heard Wilson say it. But there was nothing. Blank.
They were engaged. You should have known. No one ever waits.
(You were playing a losing game)
To another
When the two of you speak, you make sure you forget to congratulate her.
