SKYEWARD-I BET MY LIFE

I know I took the path that you would never want for me

Ward walked down the empty streets of a small town, thinking about his old team, and the decisions he had to make.

I know I let you down didn't I

The actions inflicted, his actions inflicted, hurt them. The looks on their faces, may, FitzSimmons, Coulson, Skye, they haunted him.

So many sleepless nights where you were waiting up for me, but I'm just a slave unto the night.

After the betrayal, the searches, day and night, they never stopped. Ward didn't think they would.

Now remember when I told you that's the last you'll see of me, remember when I broke you down to tears.

But Skye, oh Skye. Her in particular was the one that was in the back of my mind. He saw her cry, he saw her pain, that's not something he could reverse.

I know I took the path that you would never want for me, I gave you hell through all the years.

Skye loved him, he loved her. She wanted the best for him, but his love was a weakness, one that he couldn't get rid off, one that would be there for many years to come.

So I, I bet my life. I bet my life, I bet my life on you. I, I bet my life, I bet my life, I bet my life on you.

In a way, Ward wanted her to find him. He wanted to see her one more time, before he disappeared off the grid forever. "Please," he whispered to the empty streets.

I've been around the world and never in my wildest dreams, would I come running home to you.

New city, new identity, same pain. Nothing would change that. Coming home to Skye, meant facing Coulson and S.H.I.E.L.D and that's not something he could do.

I've told a million lies, but now I tell a single truth, there's you in everything I do.

My loyalty to Shield, a lie. Shooting the dog, a lie. All of my past, a lie, but the team and Skye stuck with me, every moment of every stinkin day.

Now remember when I told you that's the last you'll see of me, remember when I broke you down to tears.

"It's nothing personal."
"Nothing personal!" The shock in Skye's voice, the tone; you could almost hear her heart braking.

I know I took the path that you would never want for me, I gave you hell through all the years.

"It was my mission!" Ward screamed into the open air, sinking down to his knees, head in his hands as the downpour started.

So I, I bet my life. I bet my life, I bet my life on you. I, I bet my life, I bet my life, I bet my life on you.

He got up, the hard drops of rain stinging his skin and started to run. A hard sprint, to no where. Anywhere. But there was no escaping the memories, the good and the bad.

Don't tell me that I'm wrong, I've walked that road before and left you on your own.

He stopped at a set of crossroads. "God! Is this my punishment? I know I'm wrong!" He left everyone and everything he used to know. The life he could have had. With a lover, friends, and trusting teammates.

Please believe me when I say, that's left for yesterday, the records that I played, please forgive me, for all, I've done.

The sound of approaching boots on the sidewalk alerted Ward to another presence. A small, feminine hand touched his shoulder. "Ward. I'm here Ward." "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry Skye. For everything. I'm so sorry."

So I, I bet my life. I bet my life, I bet my life on you. I, I bet my life, I bet my life, I bet my life on you.
I, I bet my life. I bet my life, I bet my life on you. I, I bet my life, I bet my life, I bet my life on you.
I bet my life, I bet my life, I bet my life, I bet my life, I bet my life.

She stood, solemn faced, not moving. No gun, no kiss, nothing. "I forgive you." The rain filled the empty space between them. "Nothing's going to be the same. Ever. Nothing we do will fix that." Taking his nod as he understood, she took his hand and walked down the street towards the waiting plane with Coulson, right as the sun started to rise and beams hit the pavement behind them.
