But it turned out he just never loved me like that. When he overheard me, Nathan stopped on the stairs. The blood on the carpet was hard to miss. His eyes widened at the sight of it, and he rushed over to me. As he kneeled on the floor, he pulled me into his arms. He looked just as frantic as he had that day at the funeral parlor. "Willow!" he gasped. "Willow, you sure know how to play the long game." Lily sneered. Her mockery seemed to snap Nathan out of it. He promptly let go and threw me to the floor.

(Listen to the song while reading. "Thought I found a way, Thought I found a way out. But you never go away, So I guess I gotta stay now. Oh, I hope someday I'll make it out of here.

A little sympathy, I hope you can show me If you're leavin', baby, let me down slowly Cold skin, drag my feet on the tile As I'm walking down the corridor And I know we haven't talked in a while So I'm looking for an open door Don't cut me down, throw me out, leave me here to waste I once was a man with dignity and grace Now I'm slippin' through the cracks of your cold embrace So please, please Could you find a way to let me down slowly? A little sympathy, I hope you can show me If you wanna go then I'll be so lonely If you're leavin', baby, let me down slowly Let me down, down, let me down, down, let me down If you wanna go then I'll be so lonely If you're leavin', baby, let me down slowly

“We were in the backseat drunk on something stronger than the drinks in the bar, I rent a place on Cornelia Street, I say casually in the car we were a fresh page on the desk filling in the blank as we go, as if the streetlight pointed in an arrowhead leading us home” “And I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends I’d never walk Cornelia Street again that’s the kind of heartbreak time could never mend, I’d never walk Cornelia Street again and baby I get mystified by how this city screams your name and baby I’m so terrified of if you ever walk away, I’d never walk Cornelia Street again, I’d never walk Cornelia Street again.”

‘Baby girl, where you at?’ ‘Got no strings, got men attached’ ‘Can’t stop their feenin’ for long, no, mm’ Not to toot my own horn, but I have a bit of a voice. The women are losing their minds, trying to figure out who I’m singing to. My only goal is to find who owns that amazing scent. ‘Because you walk pretty, because you talk pretty’ ‘Cause you make me sick and I’m not leavin’ till you’re leavin’

Miranda was walking, but her gaze was fixed on her phone as she was texting a co-worker when she collided with someone. If it hadn’t been for that person, Miranda would have surely fallen down and embarrassed herself at this party. “I am sor—” The words were caught in her throat when she saw the person with whom she crashed.

When Gina reached the chorus, her voice lifted gently, filled with longing. 🎵 “If I could turn back time once more, I would love you softer, love you slow.” 🎵 Someone in the audience quietly sniffed. Another lowered their head, memories stirred without warning. The heartbreak in the song became clear.

When the last note faded, the hall fell into complete silence.

-CJ But your footfalls then came from somewhere new And I hid that my voice was still searching for you. -YC We'll sit together again, for old times' sake, And watch the now we had sung of then. In those times you didn't notice these eyes on you And in those times when I had forgotten to look- Unadmitting, we had missed each other And we still knew why our hearts ached. So, take my hand now when I take yours, We are both heading to the same place. ________________________________________

He looks directly at me when he says it. The music starts. The first new song is slow. Haunting. Piano and his voice. The lyrics are about emptiness. About feeling nothing while everyone watches. The crowd is silent. Just listening. I'm shooting but also hearing every word. The second song is faster. Angry. About pushing people away to protect yourself. The third song destroys me.
