If I Get My Way. (Mikey Way x Reader)

Fed up of being the shoulder you cry on

I want to be the shoulder you lie on

Everyday, every night

I'll be fine, I'll be fine

If you're mine

Your feelings for Mikey were not at all common knowledge – to him or to anyone – since he had a girlfriend. Yet, when you found out just how much of a manipulative bitch she was and how badly she was treating him, you started slowly but surely building up the courage to tell him how you felt. The only problem was that he seemed to still be madly in love with her.

Fed up of being the one that you lean on

I want to be the one that you dream of

Everyday, every night

I'll be fine (I'll be fine, I'll be fine)

Hearing the things that she would say and do to him... oh, it made your blood boil. Mikey deserved the sun, the stars, the universe and more – he did not deserve to be treated like garbage.

You knew that she was using him, and you knew that the sooner he got away from that toxic relationship, the better. You'd told him this numerous times, but he must've caught a bad case of Stockholm syndrome, since he kept on going back to her.

"Mikey," you spoke softly, hand still firmly clasping his, "this can't go on anymore. You can't let it."

"I know, (Y/N), I know," he sighed, voice muffled as a result of him rubbing his hands all over his exhausted face, "But it's not that simple. I can't just leave her."

You let out a scoff. "Of course you can. She's ruining you. You need to get away from her."

"We've been together almost five years. She's been my home for that entire time. What am I supposed to do if I leave her?"

You bit your lip.

If I get my way, I'mma take care of you

I can take her place; let me get my way, ooh

If you let me try, just one night, I can prove

I can take her place; let me get my way, ooh

(Hey, hey)

"You're better off without her," you whispered, gazing at him pleadingly, "You know that."

"Maybe," he conceded, nodding, "But the thing is... I don't know if I'll be able to survive without her."

Now there was a lump in your throat.

"Mikey," your voice was calm despite your insides wanting to erupt, and you gently untangled your hand from his, "there are other girls who would be much better for you. Who would take care of you and love you the way you deserve. Who you'd be much happier with."

"Like who?"

This time, no, I'mma make you see me too

This night, I'm never letting go of you

Tonight, I'mma put an end to all the waitin'
