Immortal Protector [l.r.h] (A.U.)

Ten

"Okay, so the song that I am going to play for you today is called, 'Amnesia.' It's a song on our first ever debut album, and I am pretty proud of it. The lads and I worked so hard to get where we are today. I might get choked up in the middle of the part before the last chorus, so I'm sorry if I do."

     Luke stood up, and went over to the corner of the room. Sitting in its black stand, sat a beautiful, shining, acoustic guitar. How come I never noticed it when I was in here?

     "It's okay if you do, Luke," I said, giving him a reassuring smile. "I think it's going to be Heaven just to hear you sing. I bet you're really great."

     He smiled. "Thank you, babe."

     Luke sat back down on the bed, sitting on my side of the bed, placing the guitar in his lap. He began to play the tune of the song with his fingers on the neck of the guitar, his right hand plucking the strings. He played the intro before beginning to sing.

     (I'm not going to put the tab in front of the lyrics because then it would just look weird. :) )

"I drove by all the places
we used to hang out getting wasted,
I thought about our last kiss
how it felt, the way you tasted,

And even though your friends
tell me you're doing fine,

Are you somewhere feeling lonely,
even though he's right beside you?
When he says those words to hurt you,
do you read the ones I wrote you?

Sometimes I start to wonder,
"Was it just a lie?"
If what we had was real,
how could you be fine?

'Cos I'm not fine at all

I remember the day
you told me you were leaving,
I remember the makeup
running down your face,

And the dreams you left behind
you didn't need them,
Like every single wish
we ever made,

I wish that I could
wake up with amnesia,
And forget about
the stupid little things,

Like the way it felt
to fall asleep next to you,
And the memories
that never can escape,

'Cos I'm not fine at all

The pictures that you sent me,
they're still living in my phone,
I'll admit I like to see them,
I'll admit I feel alone,

And all my friends keep asking
why I'm not around,

It hurts to know
you're happy,
Yeah, it hurts that
you moved on,

It's hard to hear
your name,
When I haven't
seen you in so long,

It's like we never happened,
was it just a lie?
If what we had was real,
how could you be fine?

'Cos I'm not fine at all

I remember the day
you told me you were leaving,
I remember the makeup
running down your face,

And the dreams you left behind
you didn't need them,
Like every single wish
we ever made,

I wish that I could
wake up with amnesia,
And forget about
the stupid little things,

Like the way it felt
to fall asleep next to you,
And the memories
that never can escape..."

     Luke's voice began getting choked up, a small frown settling upon my face. I didn't like seeing him sad; it just made me unhappy.
