This is not a love song.
This is just a tribute.
^ That is not a part of the song.
That is just a tribute to Tenacious D.
This (down arrow) is the song.
Actually, it's a duet.
And technically, it's not even a 'song'.
It's a story in lyrical form.
Which... is what a song is.
Oh. Well. Nevermind.
boy -
you walked in the door
looking like the girl I love
the same as before
but with a new look in your eyes
I wish I could watch
you walking to me over and over again
just so I remember
in case you ever stop
girl -
yesterday was a long time ago
and now it’s tomorrow
I’m looking at you
sitting at our usual table
I came here to end the story
that we wrote together
I have to tell you that today
is the last day of us
boy -
we hug and kiss as we always do
you sit down without looking into my eyes
I ask you what’s wrong
because this doesn’t feel right
girl -
I've seen that face every day
but today, I'm seeing it for the last time
I'll never see this face again
you'll never look at me this way again
today is the last time I'll see love
boy -
I've loved you for hundreds of days
and today is just one more
not all days were easy
but we will always have more
girl -
falling in love with you was easy
I wish ending it was just as
but why, would easy happen twice
why, would the end be as simple as the beginning
boy -
I just remembered, how I haven't said it in a while
so I remind you
and I remind myself
I love you
why, did it feel heavier, just then
why, did I forget
girl -
being in love with you never felt like a choice
but now, I know, it was
and today, I choose not to
boy -
and then it happens
girl -
and now it’s done
boy -
you must hate me
because if you loved me
you wouldn’t hurt me this way
girl -
you must hate me
because you should
I took the emergency exit
boy -
I hate you
for ruining us in an instant
for ending my love story
without my permission
girl -
I hate you
for being the same guy
I've known since I was a little girl
for not being the man
I want to love more
boy -
when I saw you for the first time
I thought, I want that
now, I can't think why
what was I really chasing
was it desire
was it a need, a need to know
what you felt like
what you tasted like
I wanted to know what it’s like to touch your cheek
why, I don't know
what was I going to find out by doing that
what was I chasing
and then, I found out
and this, wasn't it
I wanted, something else
you should have been, something else
but now you're this
now, you will not change
now, you will always be this
we will never be, anything else
we will always be, this
girl -
would you hate me more
if I told you I almost did this before
or would you hate me more
if I told you I tried to hold on
you don't know what it's like
to be unsure of who you are
you were never interested
in being more than ordinary
you never saw
how I kept trying to be more
my love, I wish I could keep going
on this journey you've been leading us on
but if I did, I wouldn't see the world around me
we've been this for more than I can
and leaving you, is part of my plan
boy -
I want you to sit here
and stay
stay forever
because if you leave
This becomes the past
I'm not ready
girl -
I know what I did
I should go
I should leave right now
but I don't want to
I want to stay here with you
To be us for a moment longer
Because before it ended
It was forever
boy -
I'm weak
this feels like an accident
but I wasn't driving
you pulled the brakes
and now I'm flying through the window
It feels like forever
girl -
go
leave
get up and walk away
why are you still here
I'm not strong enough
to do the act
and then stay for the aftermath
leave
end us
press stop
boy -
love is my drug
you were my dealer
wanting you to like me is all I ever wanted
but once it happened, I wanted something else
I guess, so did you
nevermind that then
because you just gave me a reason to hate you
why does hate feels stronger than love?
I want more
girl -
I don't like who you became
while we were together
you saw us, but you didn't see me
remember when we used to listen
to those old cassette tapes
and you never listened to the other side
you said it was where the bad songs lived
you wanted to ignore
what wasn't good
you never let me show you
that the other side has something to love too
what we had was something like that
you just didn't see
the other side of me
I hope someday you'll turn the tape
to the other side of you
I tried to show you, don't forget that
if you're going to remember this
try to play both sides of it
boy -
I didn't know
that today was going to be the last time
we were going to be in love
what am I going to do now
can I love you, without you
can I stay me, without you
was our love, us together
or is it, gone forever
girl -
if there is no us
then there is no love
that is all I can give you
do not ask me for anything more
then why should I stay
why should I ask you for something else
you do not know, what I know
you do not see, what I see
we will never be, anything more than this
I will never be, the someone you want
I am leaving, to be someone else
someone, I have not met yet
boy -
I got up
I made a choice
to let this moment end
to let this end
I walked out the door
to crumble on my own
leaving you behind
so you know what it's like
even if I don't want you ever again
even if I don't ever see you again
I will always want
these memories
and now it's over, one more time
until it all happens again
when you walk in the door...
