I don't own the lyrics to this song in any way possible, Ellie Goulding does. Also, Annabeth is a demigod but Percy isn't. I know with the song it would make more sense the other way round but hey ho.
"Percy I'm sorry. But it's because I love you I have to leave. "
If I was not myself
And you were someone else
I'd say so much to you
And I would tell the truth
He says nothing. I'm sobbing but if I stay, the he'll just get hurt. "Please, try and understand. There is no other option. Percy! Say something please!" Instead, he pulls me close and kisses me. "Percy. I'm sorry. I can't"
"Why Annabeth?"
Cause I can hardly breathe
When your hands let go of me
The ice is thinning out
And my feet brace themselves
"Because. I hurt everyone I touch. And it's not safe for you to be near me. You'll end up dead. If I were mortal maybe it would be different, but I'm not. I knew it was risky and I fooled myself that it would work out. And I love you so so much. But I'm going to end up getting you killed because you're around me. I can't let that happen."
I'm there in the water
Still looking for ya
I'm there in the water
Can't you see, can't you see?
"So you're just going to leave?" Tears form in his eyes and it's wrecking me to do this, but it's too dangerous for me to be with him. "It's the only way." I whisper and look at him.
You've seen this all before
Life left on the shore
We're smiling all the same
You sail away again
I wipe my thumb underneath his eyes to wipe away the tears. "Percy please."
"No. You're not leaving me! Not after everything we've been through!" I fall onto my knees, hitting the cold ground with a thud. "Percy please. I love you. If you love me too then you'll let me go. If it were different we'd be fine. But Gaia's rising. She's set out to hurt everyone we love. She already took Luke from me, I can't let her take you too. So please, once I leave you need to promise you won't try to find me or contact me. "
I'm there in the water
Still looking for ya
I'm there in the water
Can't you see, can't you see?
"But" he tries to interrupt but I stop him. I take his face in my hands and our foreheads touch. "I need you to promise to live. Don't waste your life because it's valuable. I don't know if we stand a chance at winning this war, so live now. Don't wait. Because if we lose everyone and I mean everyone is going to die. Promise me."
Oh yeah
I'm dead in the water
Still looking for ya
I'm dead in the water
Can't you see, can't you see?
Sobs choke me, and he hugs me tight. He kisses my hair. "I promise. But I want you to promise me something to Wise Girl."
"Anything."
"Don't you dare die. "
"Okay. "
I'm dead in the water
Still looking for ya
I'm dead in the water
Can't you see, can't you see?
I give him one last longing kiss. This is goodbye. "I love you Percy."
"I love you too Annabeth. You'll always be my Wise Girl. "
As I walk away I take one last glance at the man I love.
"σ'αγαπάω"
