Do you know where the end is?
Do you think you can see it?
‘Say (All I Need)’ by One Republic
He wants her. It’s as simple as that. He wants her in a primal, must-have-her way and in a soft and gentle, can’t-go-on-without-her-in-his-life way. She has saved him many times over in many different ways and in the process she has captured his heart and incarcerated it. He’s tried to get it back from her. He has taunted her and insulted her and tried to hurt her, but still she holds onto it and he can’t make himself go that extra few steps and do something bad enough that she’ll hate him and release his heart back to him forevermore.
When it comes down to it, she won’t set him free. Only he can do that and only he can break away from the cycle they’ve grown to live for. No one else. It scares him that as much as it kills him, playing this game, he doesn’t want it to end. He needs her.
