Notes: Yeah... this is kinda crappy LOL I just really wanted in on this challenge since I <3 Adam's lyrics and all. I didn't reuse the chorus because I think this is already too long haha So I hope you enjoy! :)
Every time around I come down with the same intention
And break into a smile at the thought I don't dare to mention
It’s funny how well I can hide it. I suppose the camera helps, and the constant obsessing over Maureen never hurts either, but I can’t help but let it eat away at me. She’s probably never even noticed that when I would film her and Roger, I would film mostly her. She’s just so alive, even though she’s so close to death. She doesn’t play games because she doesn’t have time for that; she’s just genuine and it’s beautiful. Her smile, her voice, her aura, everything about her is perfect. But would I ever say anything? No. If I did I would get my ass kicked and lose the best friend I’d ever had.
A solitary dreamer been meaning to make it outside
But sitting here alone I don't risk yet another blind side
When she walks into the room, I can’t help but hide a smile. She comes over to me and gives me a big hug and a kiss on the cheek, and sometimes I marvel over how I manage to keep my cool and not burst into a thousand different shades of red. Then I take my attention off of her and put it on Maureen so no one suspects a thing. Although there’s times when we have a lengthy conversation about society and how fucked up it is, and then Roger just looks between us like he can almost read my mind. And then I stop and I let her go. I watch the woman I could never have walk out with a man who doesn’t deserve her. Don’t get me wrong, Roger’s my best friend and I love everything she’s done for him, but he doesn’t treat her right. He’s always too paranoid.
And then, oh, once in a while, I make a breakout
Always under fire, but I never mind the end
Every time around you don't make a sound
Every time around is a chance to love her
Dreaming far away, every time around
See, it's only love, god, it's only love
I remember one night when she and Roger had a big fight (like that’s any surprise), I was up on the roof of the building trying to get away from the screaming. They weren’t even in our loft, they were in hers, but I could still hear them and I couldn’t take it anymore. I hated seeing either of them hurt, so I escaped and hid away like I always do. But then I heard the door open and she stalked out onto the roof, both of her hands entangled in her wild mane of hair that was blowing around in the cool winter wind. She didn’t even notice me at first, but then when she did, she just began to pour her heart out to me about how she hated always fighting with Roger but couldn’t help it. I agreed. Roger and I always fought over the stupidest little things so why should it be any different with the two of them?
If only I could stay I would say “I would never leave you”
If I could get control I’d do nothing but hold you
But when I see you smiling even though it’s over
Well, you can walk out of my world
I had been sitting in the chair that we had brought up to the roof, seeing as I would go up there to get away from everything and Roger would go up there to write-we found it to be fitting. She plopped down on the cold ground next to me and I slid down to put my arm around her. She buried her head in my shoulder, and for that moment, nothing had ever felt more right in my life. She cried to me about how she didn’t want to fight anymore and how much she loved Roger but couldn’t stand his accusations. I told her that it was just a small hill that the two of them could make it over together. She vented to me for a while, and then when she stood up, after everything was solved, she gave me the most genuine and beautiful smile I’d ever seen.
Goodbye, don’t say you love me
The next day she and Roger broke up and before I could take a breath she was back with Benny. Then Angel died. And then everything fell apart.
Goodbye, don’t say you love me
We went to Angel’s funeral and everyone save Benny and I fought. It was a wreck and seeing her so fragile and upset made me just want to confess my love for her right then and there. But I couldn’t get the balls to do it.
Goodbye, don’t say you love me
And I knew she didn’t have much longer. She had gotten skinnier than I’d ever seen anyone and it was so hard to look at her. Roger didn’t seem to notice or care, but I did. And then after Roger said some choice words to her and left like the coward he is, she ran away and none of us have seen her since.
Goodbye, don’t say you love me…
