So, um. I know I haven't updated recently, and I really appreciate the 7.04K you guys have given me. So. Um. Here's an update. P.S. Annabeth is 'perfect', and Percy is 'broken'. Annabeth's thoughts will be first, then Percy's, then both. If it's confusing, tell me pls. I'll explain. :) Warning. May be depressing, or cause tremendous amounts of crying, then fangirling.

When you try your best, but you don't succeed

Fail. Laugh it off. Get hurt inside. Nobody cares.
Fail. Everybody laughs. Hurt. Nobody cares.
I gave it my best shot. Yet I still don't succeed.

When you get what you want, but not what you need

I wanted popularity. I got it. Worthless.
I wanted isolation. I got it. Hopeless.
I didn't need it.

When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

My head hurt. I wanted out.
My body hurt. I wanted in.
I just wanted to sleep.

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace

I remember him. He used to be so happy.
I remember her. She used to be so carefree.
We loved each other. But then it was gone. Lost.

When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

There he was. Broken. Like a thousand pieces of glass shattered and stomped on. I broke him.
There she was. Perfect. Like a beautiful red rose against the thorns.
I love her/him. But they would never love me back. Not again.

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

I longed to apologize. To feel that same spark.
I longed to apologize. To feel that same energy.
I longed to fix that smile that always seemed broken.

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go

I knew that loving him would ruin my 'popularity'.
I knew that loving her would hurt me even more.
I didn't care. I was too in love to.

But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

But I had to try. After all, if you never try, you never know.
She was too good for me. But I had to try.
Maybe I'm worth more than I think.

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

I could do it.
I'll try it.
Maybe we could fix each other.

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face and I

Tears slid down my face. I couldn't replace him. He hated me.
Tears streamed down my face. I couldn't bare to lose her. She would reject me.
I wiped the teardrops off my face. But my eyes were still bloodshot and I still looked horrible. Revolting.

Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face and I

"I'll learn from my mistakes. But promise you'll never leave me again."
"I promise. Never."
"I love you so freaking much."

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

I felt it. A spark of electricity. Love.
I saw it. Sparks flying. Love.
We kissed. Love.
