Empty Apartment by yellowcard
Original songfic
Rating: G
Summary: You're not real and you can't save me.
Genre(s): General, Drama
Called me out, you stayed inside
One you love is where you hide
Shot me down as I flew by
Crash and burn I think sometimes
You forget where the heart is
I tiptoed to your door, waiting for a sign. A sound, a movement; anything to tell me you were still holding on. Nothing. I knocked lightly, then came the noise. A crash against the wall, sounds of something shattering, almost hidden by your screams.
Answer no to these questions
Let her go learn a lesson
It's not me you're not listening now
Can't you see something's missing
You forget where the heart is
Sometimes I'm not sure you know I'm here. You need someone you can lean on; almost more than I do. But you don't realize it - that would make everything true.
Take you away from that empty apartment
You stay and forget where the heart is
Someday if ever you loved me you'd say
It's okay
All you can see is the past - you don't want to believe in all that's happened. You seem to think that if you ignore it the truth will go away - but it won't. I know that. We know that. Do you even care how we feel?
Waking up from this nightmare
How's your life? What's it like there?
Is it all that you want it to be?
Does it hurt when you think about me?
And how broken my heart is
You're lost in your memories, like they'll save you from the pain. I can't do that - I've got too much to live for, even with this. I hope you're happy, living the way you are. I had to keep living, like I'm alive.
It's okay to be angry and never let go
It only gets harder the more that you know
When you get lonely if no one's around
You know that I'll catch you when you're falling down
We came together but you left alone
And I know how it feels to walk out on your own
Maybe someday I will see you again
And you'll look me in my eyes and call me your friend
It's hard, you know? To keep going like everything's just the way it used to be. But I can't sit still - I have to move on. I have to be strong, and not just for you. This is how the world is now - and I hope you'll be there if I ever need you. Sometimes everyone needs a friend - someone to save their life, someone who can make it all right. I'll be there for you.
