(Dipper pov)

Once Bill parks outside my apartment I lead him inside, stacks of boxes stacked everywhere. "You weren't kidding that you guys haven't unpacked anything."

"Told you so." I lead him to my room which is the most unpacked room in the apartment but mostly because the movers lost most of my stuff so I don't really have anything aside from clothes and the guitar that Bill gave me.

"This is the saddest room I have ever seen."

"Well the movers lost pretty much all of my books and collectables." I flop back on my bed.

I see Bill go over to my desk and read the various papers on it. "Are these all songs? I thought you kept the lyrics in your head?"

"I do. But I started writing them down so I don't get the lyrics all mixed up when I work on the music for them."

"These all seem pretty angry. Are these all about Robbie?"

"No......maybe......"

"Why do you let him get in your head like this."

"I don't know." I sigh as I run my hands over my face tiredly. "I thought I could just move on and forget about him but then seeing him at the party again it's like the whole nightmare won't fucking stop."

"Just do something to forget about him then?"

"Like what, smartass?" I look up at him as he sits next to me.

"Play me something. Something you haven't written down yet."

I sit up and pick up the guitar nearby and begin playing.
"He sits in his cell
And he lays on his bed
Covers his head and closes his eyes
He sees a smoking gun
And the coward he ran
And in his arms is the bleeding
Love of his life

And she cries
Kiss it all better
I'm not ready to go
It's not your fault love
You didn't know, you didn't know

Her hands are so cold
And he kisses her face
And says "Everything will be all right"
He noticed the gun
And his rage grew inside
He said "I'll avenge my lover tonight"

And she cried
Kiss it all better
I'm not ready to go
It's not your fault love
You didn't know, you didn't know

Now he sits behind prison bars
25 to life and she's not in his arms
He couldn't bring her back with a bullet to the heart
Of the back of a man and tore his world apart

He holds onto a memory
All it is, is a memory
Hey, hey

He cries
Stay with me until I fall asleep
Stay with me
Stay with me until I fall asleep
Stay with me
Stay with me until I fall asleep
Stay with me
Stay with me until I fall asleep
Stay with me

Kiss it all better
I'm not ready to go
It's not your fault love
You didn't know, you didn't know

(Kiss it all better.)
Stay with me until I fall asleep
Stay with me
Stay with me until i fall asleep
Stay with me
(kiss it all better.)
Stay with me until I fall asleep
Stay with me
Stay with me until I fall asleep
Stay with me"

He puts his arm around me pulling me close to him as he softly kisses my cheek. "You and your music are going to go far one day."

"Yeah right."

"It's true, I guarentee it. You'll play at big places like Vegas or New York or maybe even New Orleans. Meanwhile I'll still be here."

"I'm not going to go places unless you and Kill come with me."

"Maybe we will if you ask nicely."

I laugh softly as he leaves small kisses down my jawline.
