I can't believe
That when I breathe
There's something good inside of me
Just one good thing inside of me
So close to me
That memory
Of that one good thing inside of me
Just one good thing inside of me

If I went out the back door nobody would stop me
But where would I go?
Cause I ain't ever had a real home
So what do I know?
So I could keep running, hide until they find me
But what would that do?
If they could only know what I knew
What would it prove?
I should've seen the writing on the wall
Instead I'm left to fall
Cause the longer I'm away
The more we stay the same
Looking back where I thought I knew it all
Instead I'm left to fall
Did I throw it all away?

I can't believe
That when I breathe
There's something good inside of me
Just one good thing inside of me
So close to me
That memory
Of that one good thing inside of me
Just one good thing inside of me

Don't you know, little boy, they'll lay you to waste man
Little do they know every song is a life span
Never taken one, but I'm taking my last chance
To hold all we know and let go with both hands
Oh don't you know that clouds are made from concrete?
Right through the stone can you hear my heart beat?
Beats through my bones like the memory left me
Not for a second or a minute when I dream
I wanna go home like the home that I keep
You can dig six or sixty six feet
We can live forever still your misery missed me
Hold this song together with a bottle of whiskey
Look into the mirror at the lines that time drew
Seen em painted white and the eyes that shined through
My heart beats heavy in an open chest
And I wanna say goodbye, but there's nobody left

I can't believe
That when I breathe
There's something good inside of me
Just one good thing inside of me
So close to me
That memory
Of that one good thing inside of me
Just one good thing inside of me

I broke it all and I'm put to the test
Put your hand to mine and feel this emptiness
There's no beat in my chest, 'cause there's nothing left
No it ain't goodbye, it's a last caress
What's another dream, you can hardly sleep
Can you believe bad things only happen to me?
God knows one day you will finally see
That scars will heal but were meant to bleed
Do you realize I would lie for you?
Please have my last breath, I would die for you
I know I'm no good but my heart beats true
You know I'm gonna fight, though I might be scared to lose
You took me in and I fucked it up again
An empty promise, no I won't pretend
'Cause in the end we need someone to solve em
Nobody can fix me if I'm part of the problem

I can't believe
That when I breathe
There's something good inside of me
Just one good thing inside of me
So close to me
That memory
Of that one good thing inside of me
Just one good thing inside of me, yeah

Kito's POV
My home situation had gotten a lot worse. Mom hadn't left yet, so the arguments got so much worse. The screaming seemed to have no muffling through the walls. I couldn't take it.

They argued for more than an hour and were still arguing. It was a little after 11:00pm and I had school the next day. I grabbed an outfit, a little make-up (I rarely wore more than I needed to cover up the dark bags around my eyes), and a pair of knee high black converse. I put my stuff in a small bag, grabbed my school bag, and slipped out the window. I was on the third floor, but I could climb trees. I quickly climbed down the tree by my window. It was a little scary after being out of practice. The closest person that I trusted was only a block away. I readjusted my bags and took off down the dark street.

I stood in front of the nice mansion. If I remember correctly, his room is at the back left. I ran to the location of the room from the outside. I scaled the side of the the house, as quickly and quietly as I could.

The bedroom was dark and there was a soft snoring in the room. Luckily the window was unlocked. I lifted it open, put my bags in and climbed in myself. I landed ungracefully with a soft thud.

The bedside lamp turned on. Glasses were grabbed of the nightstand. A messy haired Kyoya looked at me, "Kito..? Kito! What are you doing here? Have you been crying? How did you get in?" I slowly lifted my hand to my face. It was wet. I hadn't even noticed I had been crying. I dropped my hand and looked at Kyoya, "You left your window unlocked. That's how I got here. I didn't even notice I was crying. My parents have been arguing for more than an hour and I couldn't handle it. I decided to sneak into your house, because I've known you a long time and I trust you. Their arguments are w-worse now." At that point I broke. I started sobbing uncontrollably. Kyoya climbed out of bed and came over to me. I hadn't realized he was shirtless. By the time I realized it, Kyoya had already pulled me into a hug. I sobbed and clung onto Kyoya. He rubbed circles on my back. I started softly spilling my thoughts, "I don't want to go back! I want to escape them! I want to escape the fighting!" Kyoya frowned, "Just stay here tonight. Everything will be okay. I promise." I nodded a little and tried to stop crying. Kyoya smiled a bit.

I finally got control of myself. My breathing fell back to normal. I felt drop-dead tired. Kyoya got up and went back to his bed, "Kito, come on." It wouldn't be awkward to sleep in the same bed with Kyoya. We had known each other far too long to get awkward. I laid next to Kyoya. I glanced at his nightstand. On it say an old teddy near with a lavender ribbon around it neck. I gave that to Kyoya when we were 7. I can't believe he still has it. When I gave it to him, he still smiled.

~Flashback~
"Kyo-Kyo! Kyo-Kyo!" I yelled, running through the park's large playground. My hair was in two small pigtails that whipped behind me. I ran towards a small Kyoya who, at the time, wore thick, round, black rimmed glasses that made his eyes huge. He looked really cute, in my opinion. He looked at me with a full smile on his face, "KITTY!" I ran up and hugged him, "Come with me I have something for you!" Kyoya tilted his head a little, "What is it?" "You'll see!" I yelled, grabbing his hand and running to where my parents were. I ran behind my Mom's back and grabbed the soft teddy bear she was holding for me. It had soft, dark brown fur and big brown eyes that reminded me of Kyoya. I had tied the lavender ribbon around its neck with Mom's help. I smiled and handed it to Kyoya, "It reminded me of you! I want us to ALWAYS be friends, so even if we don't talk, you'll have that to remember me by!" Kyoya smiled then looked at me, "But we will always be friends. We'll always talk and always be the best of friends! Promise?" He held up his pinky. I smiled and grabbed his pinky with my own, "Promise!" Kyoya laughed slightly, which he had stopped doing lately, and hugged me, "Why would we ever think we wouldn't be friends?"
~Flashback End~

What had gone wrong? That was one of the last times he had laughed... I sighed and drifted off to sleep.

"KYOYA!! Why is there another girl sleeping in your bed?!" A nasally, whiny voice yelled, pulling me from my dreams of happier times. I sat up and saw a girl with light blonde hair and purple eyes glaring at me, "WHY ARE YOU IN MY FIANCE'S BED?!" Fiancé? "I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE BUT KYOYA BELONGS TO ME, ALAISHA J. PARKER!! GET AWAY FROM HIM!"

SMACK

She did not just slap me! Alaisha smirked, "I don't know you. You must be some dirt-poor prostitute. My family could buy and sell you!" Who was she? The top 2 richest families in Japan were mine and Kyoya's. I stood up, "I am Nakanishi Kito, daughter of Nao and Sugimoto. Second richest family in Japan. I've known Kyoya my whole life. I
We aren't in a relationship or otherwise. Kyoya is a childhood friend who I went to when I was upset. So you can shut your damn mouth." Kyoya walked out of the bathroom and looked at the two of us in a shocked horror.
