I promised myself I wouldn't do this here...

I am Heathcliff

Intro:

My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods; time will change it, I'm well aware, as winter changes the trees.  My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath--a source of little visible delight, but necessary.  Nelly, I am Heathcliff!  He's always, always in my mind--not as a pleasure, any more than I am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own being

Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same

~ Catherine Earnshaw, Wuthering Heights

You don't know me
You Don't know me like him
and you don't hold me
you don't hold me
like him
and you don't bring me
you don't suck me in
and you can't have me
you can't have me like him
your just here now
and you don't own me like him
and you can't love me
you can't love me the way I really need to be
and it's not over
it's not over inside
because in the real world
in the real world I hide
what I want now
what I want now is to be
if he was here now
 I could just be me
is it over
is it really gone?
cause if it is now I can just stay gone
you can't feel me
the way that you should
we should never have tried to make this good
it's not fate
it's not fate and I know
 what should have been now and I can't let it go
