Well, when you go

"Grantaire, this is getting ridiculous," Enjolras sighs, his hand running through his golden locks.

Don't ever think I'll make you try to stay

"What do you mean, Enjy?" Grantaire asks, his voice quivering.

And maybe when you get back

I'll be off to find another way

"All this," He says, gesturing around the room. "...this," He says, slightly softer, gesturing to the air in between them.

And after all this time that you still owe

You're still the good-for-nothing, I don't know

"We're so in over our heads, R, you have to see that. What did we think was gonna happen?"

So take your gloves and get out

Better get out

While you can

"Well excuse me for being under the impression that we loved each other. I'm sorry for believing I was loved for once in my life!" Grantaire yells, tears like fire in his eyes.

When you go

And would you even turn to say

"Don't say that," Enjolras shoots back, his gaze glued to the floor

"Say what?" The shorter man spat.

"That I don't love you. I do, you know that. But we knew the risks!"

Like I did

Yesterday

"The risks of you up and leaving? Claiming the rebellion trumps all affections you once had?!" Grantaire yells, slamming his fist on the table to emphasize his point.

Sometimes I cry so hard from pleading

So sick and tired of all the needless beating

"I'm doing this for you!" The blond yelled, just to get Grantaire to hear him over his own shouts.

But baby when they knock you

Down and out

"Bullshit, you're doing it for me," He hissed, trying his hardest to ignore the dagger in his chest.

It's where you oughta stay

"R, I will never forgive myself if something happened to you because of my indiscretion or my irresponsibility. I'd go to the ends of this earth to protect you, and if cutting off ties with you is the way to do that I have no choice."

And after all the blood that you still owe

Another dollar's just another blow

Grantaire stood there, speechless. Anger stirred in his heart, his heart screaming.

So fix your eyes and get up

Better get up

While you can

"So I don't even get a say in it?! Enjolras you can't just do that to me!" He screamed, tears flooding down his cheeks.

Whoa, whoa

When you go

"I am the most dangerous thing in your life, Grantaire!"

And would you even turn to say

I don't love you

"You don't think I see that? The difference between us is that I was willing to risk it because I was in love!"

Like I did

Yesterday

"I am to- wait" Enjolras stopped himself, a single tear forming in his eye. "Was?"

Well come on, come on

"I don't know how I feel anymore. I was ready to give my life for you, but you were the one who was willing to give it all up because of a single choice you made."

When you go

Would you have the guts to say

"Taire, you know I love you. I just don't want to see you hurt."

I don't love you

Like I loved you

"It's always what you want, Enjolras, never what I want. Ever." And with that, Grantaire picked up his bag.

Yesterday

As slow tears bled from Enjolras' eyes, Grantaire stopped in the doorway.

When you go

And would you even turn to say

He slowly turned around, the same tear pouring from his emerald eyes, now dimmer than before.

"I don't love you, like I did. Yesterday"
