Song of the Character Unnamed

Going Down in Flames
3 Doors Down


Don’t tell me what to think
Cause I don’t care this time

I walked to Science with my eyes peeled for him. It was just like any other day, rainy, wet and gross. But there was something about today, like most days, that gave me some warmth in my heart, and thawed my frozen being. To see him again, even just a glimpse, would warm me for all of today. No, I am not crazy to feel this way, but some people say I am. I don’t really agree, and there he is!

Don’t tell me what to believe
Cause you won’t be there

I watch him as he passes me by, walking to his next class as I stand and wait for mine. Damn it all, he’s so cute when he is wet! In a stalker like way, I watch him until he vanishes from sight, or I am simply late for class again. Oops. People tell me he’s a jerk-face, nothing worth my time, but he hasn’t proven my own theories wrong yet.

To catch me when I fall
But you’ll need me when I’m not here at all
Miss me when I’m gone again, yeah

I think about him all through the next hour or so, my thoughts elsewhere as I work with my team to win. Sometimes, I don’t even know why or what I happen to be playing or even who is relying on me to come through for them. I fell so hard, I might end up just hurting myself, but it is a worthy risk. What is life if you never take a huge leap of faith?

I’m going down in flames
I’m falling into this again, yeah
I’m going down in flames
I’m falling into this again

It’s finally over, the dreadful hour of wishing I could sit with him in a class we just don’t have together. Darn. But it’s all fine; I get to him for just fifteen minutes before I get sent off to the next class. Fifteen minutes might just be enough… but not for long. I can feel it pulling at my heart now and then. Why don’t you ask him to dance?

Don’t tell me how life is
Cause I don’t really want to know

I don’t want to love someone who doesn’t know my last name, but he is who he is. But I fight through the next hour or so, holding my pain tight inside. I don’t want to lose it all just because I wish it was he that I told “mi amor” to.

Don’t tell me how this game ends
Cause we’ll just see how it goes

I get out at last, I’m free! It’s too bad though, that there she is. She wants him too, and she says to me, that it’ll never be for me. My heart aches to dissuade me from the truth, yet… some of me believes it all.


Catch me when I fall
Or you’ll need me when I’m not here at all
Miss me when I’m gone again, yeah

Nobody was there to catch me when I fell. Now I lay here broken, without any way to pick up the pieces. I’ve been waiting, for nothing at all. I don’t even know if they miss me, going on and on as though I was never ever there.

I’m going down in flames
I’m falling into this again, yeah
I’m going down in flames
I’m falling into this again

Slowly I pick it up, put my shattered life together, and duct taping what just won’t stick. I knew it would end this way; yet, the pain didn’t stick around long. I guess it just wasn’t meant to be, if things go back to normal in the blink, of a single eye.

Now, I’m all the way down here
I’m falling
I’m all the way
I’m all the way down here
I’m falling down again
I’m falling down
I’m falling down
I’m falling down

I don’t look for him any more as I stand for my next class. Instead, I keep my eyes down, afraid that someone else might trick me with a mysterious smile. I hope someone out there can heal it all, from this one, to everyone.

I’m going down in flames
I’m falling into this again,
I’m going down in flames
I’m falling into this again

I tell people now I am dating to keep them away, but I know my words are just lies. Give me a reason to believe, my eyes say, but nobody can read my heart.

Now, I’m all the way down here
I’m falling
All the way
All the way down here
I’m falling down again now I’m falling down

I can finally let my hair blow in the breeze, its safe now. He’s still my unsuspecting friend, and I am still there for him in his time of need, but no longer is my heart my last gamble. Now I can laugh and sing, as though nobody is ever watching.


Note: Not about anyone, just some random character talking about a past love of hers. So deal.
