You Can't Be Mine - Larry OneShot

two

I can't sing it.

So someone else will.

A year later, Louis Tomlinson turned on the radio and heard the presenter talking. 

"So this next song is suggested by... @loveyoulou on twitter. They said, 'It means a lot to me and, I think, someone we know.' Wonder who that is. But anyways, here's the song, right now, on the radio."

Lou grinned at their name on twitter and thought about who the 'someone we know' might be. Probably one of their friends. The introduction played through the car. 

"We keep.."

Lou froze. He pulled over in case he crashed into somebody in shock. Is this..? He listened for the next few words he couldn't say himself. 

"Behind closed doors."

"Every time I see you, I die a little more"

"Stolen moments that we steal as the curtain falls"

"It'll never be enough"

He tried to mask the tears that had appeared. He knew all the lyrics, word for word and yet couldn't sing along. Why? Was it from being stopped before? Was he scared?

"As you drive me to my house"

"I can't stop these tears from rolling down"

"You and I both have to hide on the outside"

"Where I can't be yours and"

"You can't be mine"

Louis remembered the tweet he'd sent to break the news to the fans.

It's here, he thought, this is how it goes, these are the lyrics.

The lyrics I gave to someone else because I couldn't sing them.

The speech I made someone else say because I was too afraid.
