You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time

I sat there as Soda yelled at me. Telling me I'm unfaithful. How all I do is slut around.

But I never thought I'd live to see it break
It's getting dark and its all too quiet

"What did I ever do wrong Sydney! I loved you!"

And I can't trust anything now
And its comin' over you like its all a big mistake

"I trusted you! I thought you were gonna be different!"

I was different. I am different. He's just to blind to see it.

Holding my breath, won't lose you again
Something's made your eyes go cold

"SAY SOMETHING!"

Come on, come on don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong, you're all I wanted

"I DO LOVE YOU!"

"THEN WHY DID YOU CHEAT!"

Come on, come on don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out

I started to cry.

"Oh, now you're crying. Playing victim again"

"No, I'm crying because I thought I fell in love with Sodapop Curtis. The one who always smiled. Always forgave. The one I thought wouldn't care who I was. The one who loved me"

"I did love you. Before you decided go cheat"

Can't breathe whenever you're gone
Can't turn back, now I'm haunted

"I DIDN'T FUCKING CHEAT!"

I slapped my hands around my mouth. He looked at me angrily. Oh no.

Stood there and watched you walk away
From everything we had

"I'm gonna go. Go find someone who will love me"

"You don't love me because I'm not Sandy. You don't love me because I'm a Soc huh? I'll never be good for you. Good for your family. I've been there for you since day one and I loved you. Now I can't stand you. I can't even look at you so you know what? I'll go. I'll go and find someone who'll love me. Not cause I'm a Soc because they truly love me. Someone who isn't you so goodbye Soda. Goodbye"

But I still mean every word I said to you

It's been a year. I sat here on my bed still crying. I did love him I still do and I meant it when I said he didn't love me. Why did I have to be suck a mess up? I even started cutting. I'm such an idiot.

He will try to take away my pain
And he just might make me smile
But the whole time I'm wishin' he was you instead

It's year two. I got a new boyfriend. He's nice to me but he'll never be Soda. There's something different about him. He's...safe. He isn't reckless and happy go lucky like Soda. That's good though right?

Oh, oh, holding my breath, won't see you again
Something keeps me holding on to nothing

Year three without him. Year one with my new guy. I still couldn't stop thinking of Soda. Of him. Secretly I hoped he would come back. Know what he missed...there was nothing left...

Come on, come on don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong, you're all I wanted

Year four without him. Year two with him. Well, actually he left me. Said I don't love him. I'm still in love with Soda. He isn't wrong. I don't blame him for leaving. I don't.

I started to drive out of Tulsa when my car broke down. Right in front of the DX. Great. Last place I wanted to be but I couldn't help but smile. I walked in and saw Soda looking at the counter. He was looking at something. I wonder what.

"Get out" he said and I raised a brow.

"We're closed. Leave"

"Alright then. I'll just walk" I said walking away when I heard a soft cry.

Come on, come on don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out

"Princess?"

"I'm not your princess Sodapop"

"I'm sorry"

I walked out.

Can't breathe whenever you're gone
Can't turn back, now I'm haunted

I kept walking. Hoping he'd come after me. He didn't.

I know, I know, I just know
You're not gone, you can't be gone
No

"I'M SORRY! I WAS SCARED! I KNOW YOU COULD GET BETTER SO I TRIED COMING UP WITH SOMETHING TO LET YOU GO! I WAS STUPID! WE WERE STUPID! I JUST CAN'T TAKE IT!"

I turned around and shook my head. I saw he was crying. I wasn't.

"You know what. I'll just go"

Come on, come on don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out

"STOP!"

Something's gone terribly wrong, won't finish what you started

He kept going.

Come on, come on don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out

I ran over and hugged him.

"Please. I can't anymore"

"I'm no good for you"

"Don't leave me like this"

Can't breathe whenever you're gone
Can't go back, I'm haunted

"Go"

"I can't"

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time

"I don't love you"

Never ever thought I'd see it break
Never thought I'd see it

I let go and stepped back rolling up my sleeves.

"I guess you don't care if I'm dead then...fine...I'll get off your back. Forever. I'll just die. No one will care anyways"

With that I felt a kiss on my lips. Shocking me. Shocking me greatly. He pulled away and kissed my wrists.

"I can't pretend. I love you. I love you so so much. Sydney Marie Carlyle"

I shook my head.

"I can't believe you"

"Then believe this. Will you marry me?"

He got on a knee looking up at me with a ring. I couldn't believe it.

"Please say something"

"Yes"
