What D'ya Want From Me – Adam Lambert
Hey, slow it down
What d'ya want from me
What d'ya want from me
Yeah, I'm afraid
What d'ya want from me
What d'ya want from me
There might have been a time
When I would give myself away
Ohh, once upon a time
I didn't give a damn
But now, here we are
So what d'ya want from me
What d'ya want from me
Just don't give up
I'm working it out
Please don't give in
I won't let you down
It messed me up
Need a second to breathe
Just keep coming around
Hey, what d'ya want from me
What d'ya want from me
What d'ya want from me
Yeah, it's plain to see
That baby you're beautiful
And there's nothing wrong with you
It's me. I'm a freak
But thanks for loving me
Cause you're doing it perfectly
Yeah, there might have been a time
When I would let you slip away
I wouldn't even try
But I think you could save my life.
Just don't give up
I'm working it out
Please don't give in
I won't let you down
It messed me up
Need a second to breathe

She was so close to receiving a proposal. It wouldn't be a love match but then she would still have her freedom and at this moment she doubted she could a love match anyway.
"Do you mind if I interrupt?" What was Colin doing here? The rest of the Bridgertons had arrived without him. She knew that because she had been looking for him.
"Colin." What could he possibly have to say to her that warranted interrupting her dance with Lord Debling?
"It should only take a moment." Then why could it not wait?
"It appears you two have something to resolve. I shall leave you to it." Lord Debling was being very understanding but this was embarrassing. And Colin usually had better manners.
"Colin, you are going to ruin things between me and Debling." She was confused as to why he would do that.
"Well perhaps that is for the best." How could that be? This is what she had been working towards.
"What do you mean?" He was making no sense.
"Pen… You can not marry him. You hardly know him." Well, he had barely known Marina and yet he had proposed to her. In fact she knew Lord Debling more than he had known Marina.
"I know him well enough." Unbelievable. Why was he doing this now?
"I hear he is leaving. For three years." Had he been checking up on her? And what difference did it make if Lord Debling would be away for a length of time.
"I know that already Colin." She knew what she was getting into. "It takes a year alone to get where he is going." It was part of the appeal. "I have made my peace with what Lord Debling has to offer. I am going to accept his proposal." No one else was waiting to ask and she had to get away from her family.
"I said I would help you find a husband, but I cannot watch you make a mistake." Who was he to judge what she was doing? He had choices. She did not.
Lord Debling walked past them towards the door. "The only mistake was me ever asking for your help in the first place." It was only when she rushed off after Lord Debling that she remembered she had not asked for Colin's help. He had offered it.
But the damage had been done. Lord Debling no longer wished to marry her. No doubt Cressida Cowper had encourage that as well as Colin's performance on the dance floor.
