Story Notes:
based on song Keep You by Sugarland
We said our goodbyes and I tried taking the cure.
It was so quiet on the way home, I was sure that you were gone.
But the cure didn't make us disappear.
Now, two years later, I'm glad you're still here.
You had run after everthing happened.
But, my you, never runs.
It's a bittersweet victory, loving the you inside of me.
There's a part of me who is always angry with you.
There's also a part that is always forgiving you.
That part would wait for you forever.
That part of me is slowly dying.
My Logan, in those moments, wraps up my thoughts with his warmth.
Til I can only think of you, feel you, long for you.
He loves me til I love you even more.
After a while, you get used to it.
Making love to a memory. Making love to a fragment of someone.
He tries to explain it to me, but I don't hear.
That's the only time I can shut him out.
Every word out of his mouth is another tear down my face.
One day maybe. One day maybe not.
I will live with this substitution, I will love him.
------------------------------------------------
We said goodbye. Tried her hand at magic.
But we couldn't make us disappear.
Not a day goes by I don't wish I had you.
So in away, I'm glad you're still here.
It's a bitter sweet victory.
Lovin' the ghost in front of me.
Now I can't laugh, can't cry.
And I can't run, can't hide.
What do I gotta do?
What do I gotta do to keep you?
What do I gotta do to keep you from doing this to me?
I wrote a couple of notes.
One in love, one in anger.
They're lying there dying in the dresser drawer.
Lived louder than my voice. Struggled through a stranger.
He loved me until I loved you even more.
It's a bitter sweet victory.
Lovin' someone else who wanted me.
Now I can't laugh, can't cry.
And I can't run, can't hide.
You get used to the pain, and numb to the sting
Till you can't feel anything.
You tried to explain, but I couldn't hear it.
As if your words were my tears.
Flowing freely, warm and quiet.
From the edges of my eyes and my ears.
Then all that disappears.
Now I can't laugh, can't cry.
And I can't run, can't hide.
Now I can't laugh, can't cry.
And I can't run, can't hide.
What do I gotta do?
What do I gotta do to keep you?
What do I gotta do to keep you from doing this to me?
