Evidently, now he values them far more than he does you.
( … I'd rather run the other way than stay and see
The smoke and who's still standing when it clears )
Her words are toxic on your tongue, killing you over and over again, wrapping around your neck and choking you until you’re breathless and limp. You don’t want to believe it, don’t want it to be true, not after everything you went through, but there Sora is, with a dog and a duck and what about us? What about Kairi and me and Destiny Islands?
You don’t want to believe a witch, not a witch, never a witch, but she’s telling you such pretty little lies that echo all around you until your head hurts and your ears ache and their etched so far into your skin that you can’t scratch them out and they’re dug so deep into your heart it’s bleeding and black.
And everything is black and dark around you and there’s Sora, all rainbows and sunshine with his friends and he’s saving the world, saving the world, saving the world, but if Sora’s saving the world, then who’s saving Kairi from the black and the dark and the witch and the envy and if Sora’s saving the world, who’s going to save Riku?
You're better off without that wretched boy.
( …Find another friend and you discard
As you lose the argument in a cable car )
Wretched, wretched, wretched is all you hear and it’s not true because Sora is pure and funny and your best friend and wretched isn’t Sora, it’s you and your lies and that witch and you’re head still hurts because this doesn’t make any sense and those lies are dancing in front of you, twirling and grinning and bleeding and black and you’re falling deeper into the dark every time you look at him, every time you think where’s Kairi?
Her hand’s on your shoulder and she’s manipulating everything you’ve ever known and twisting heartstrings into knots and tying puppet strings around your arms and legs so tight you can’t feel and Sora, you’re saving the world and there’s no one left to save me.
Watching him laugh and smile and grin and completely forget he ever saw you minutes before makes you wonder if maybe the witch is right. Watching him move on makes you wonder if maybe you should too. You can save Kairi on your own, can’t you? Yeah, you can.
You won’t believe a witch, not a witch, never a witch, but you will believe your heart and soul and mind and eyes and ears and everything that’s telling you Sora’s saving the world, saving the world, saving the world, and you’re the one who has to save Kairi from the black and the dark and the lies and the blood and the evil, even if you become it yourself.
I'll help you find what you're searching for...
( … And suddenly I become a part of your past
I'm becoming the part that don't last )
You won’t believe a witch, but you will believe yourself, even if you’re the bigger liar.
( ... I'm losing you and it's effortless )
