Barry's POV
so like normal ive gone to the karaoke bar. when ever me and Caitlin go through something we some how all wind up here. tonight is no different I see Caitlin and the new guy who cisco has told me is called jay. Lisa is sat at the bar and for some reason she's ignoring cisco but it is what it is.
I suddenly have the perfect song in my head. I fancy getting a little bit of revenge on Caitlin. I mean sure I was gone for 6 months but she's the one who's not been loyal we weren't broken up or anything like that. I was just stuck on a different earth.
I get up on stage and grab the mic and the start of tonight i'm getting over you starts to play in the bar.
I wanna smash your fears
And get drunken off your tears
Don't you share your smile with anyone else but me
I wanna touch your heart
I wanna crush it in my hands
Make you plead and cry
As you give up all the lies
We're not lovers
But more than friends
Put a flame to every single word you ever said
No more crying
To get me through
I'll keep dancing 'til the morning with somebody new
Tonight I'm getting over you
Tonight I'm getting over you
Tonight I'm getting over you
Tonight I'm getting over you
Over you
Over you
Stuck in a real bad dream
And man it feels so new to me
Should be in your arms
But I'm begging at your feet
It's been a real hard night
And I just hold my pillow tight
It won't love me back, no
It's not you and I
We're not lovers
But more than friends
Put a flame to every single word you ever said
No more crying
To get me through
I'll keep dancing 'til the morning with somebody new
Tonight I'm getting over you
Tonight I'm getting over you
Tonight I'm getting over you
Tonight I'm getting over you
Over you
Over youTonight I'm getting over you
Tonight I'm getting over you
Tonight I'm getting over you
Over you
Over you
We're not lovers
(Tonight I'm getting over you)
But more than friends
(Tonight I'm getting over you)
Put a flame to every single word you ever said
(Tonight I'm getting over you)
No more crying
To get me through
I'll keep dancing 'til the morning with somebody new
Tonight I'm getting over you
i can tell by caitlins face that she knows exactly who i mean that for.
Caitlin's POV
oh Barry Allen your so fucking childish sometimes i swear to god. i know what i have to do i have a song in my head i get up onto the stage and grab the mic.
I found your hair band on my bedroom floor
The only evidence that you've been here before
And I don't get waves of missing you anymore
They're more like tsunami tides in my eyes
Never getting dry, so I get high
Smoke away the days, never sleep with the light on
Weeks pass in the blink of an eye
And I'm still drunk at the end of the night
I don't drink like everybody else
I do it to forget things about myself
Stumble and fall with the head spin I got
My mind's with you but my heart's just not
So am I close to you anymore, if it's over?
And there's no chance that we'll work it out
That's why you and I ended over U.N.I.
And I said that's fine
But you're the only one that knows I lied
You and I ended over U.N.I.
And I said that's fine
But you're the only one that knows I lied
Everybody said we'd be together forever
But I know that I never wanna settle down,
Come around, break up the love like lego now
Never wanna turn into another like you
Sleep with my thoughts, dance with my views
Everything's great, not everything's sure
But you live in your halls and I live in a tour bus
Now I'm in position to be another stalker
Like everything I say seems to always sound awkward
Like our last kiss, it was perfect
But we were nervous, on the surface
And I'm always saying everyday that it was worth it
Pain is only relevent if it still hurts
I forget like an elephant, or we can use a sedative
And go back to the day we fell in love just on first kiss
So am I close to you anymore, if it's over?
And there's no chance that we'll work it outOh you and I ended over U.N.I.
And I said that's fine
But you're the only one that knows I lied
You and I ended over U.N.I.And I said that's fine
But you're the only one that knows I lied
Because, if I was gonna go somewhere
I'd be there by now
And maybe I can let myself down
And I'm thinking I'm unaware
I keep my feet on the ground
And keep looking around,
To make sure I'm not
The only one to feel lowBecause if you want
I'll take you in my arms and keep you sheltered
From all that I've done wrong
And I know you'll say
That I'm the only one
But I know God made another one of me
To love you better than I ever will
'Cause you and I ended over U.N.I.
And I said that's fine
But you're the only one who knows that I lied
You and I ended over U.N.I.
And I said that's fine
But you're the only one who knows that I lied
the song ends and Barry looks amazed. his eyes narrow and I can tell he's trying to think of some way to respond to it
Barry's POV
I can't believe she just responded to me like that. well fuck it I think to myself I get back on the stage unhook the mic from stand and wrap my hand around it. cisco looks at me as if to say what are you doing Barry why you holding it like your about to rap.
I met this girl late last year
She said "don't you worry if I disappear"
I told her I'm not really looking for another mistake
I called an old friend thinking that the trouble would wait
But then I jumped right in a week later and returned
I reckon she was only looking for a lover to burn
But I gave her my time for two or three nights
Then I put it on pause until the moment was right
I went away for months until our paths crossed again
She told me "I was never looking for a friend
Maybe you could swing by my room around ten
Baby, bring the lemon and a bottle of gin
We'll be in between the sheets 'til the late AM
Baby, if you wanted me then should have just said, she's singing
Don't fuck with my love
That heart is so cold
All over my arm
I don't wanna know that babe
Don't fuck with my love
I told her she knows
Take aim and reload
I don't wanna know that babe
And for a couple weeks I only wanna see her
We drink away the days with a takeaway pizza
Before a text message was the only way to reach her
Now she's staying at my place and loves the way I treat her
Singing out Aretha, all over the track like a feature
And never wants to sleep, but guess that I don't want to either
But me and her, we make money the same way
Four cities, two planes, the same day
And those shows have never been what it's about
But maybe we'll go together and just figure it out
I'd rather put on a film with you and sit on a couch
But we should get on a plane or we'll be missing it now
Wish I'd have written it down, the way that things played out
When she was kissing him, how I was confused about
Now she should figure it out, while I'm sat here singing
Don't fuck with my love
That heart is so cold
All over my arm
I don't wanna know that babe
Don't fuck with my love
I told her she knows
Take aim and reload
I don't wanna know that babe
(knocks on the floor) On my hotel door
I don't even know if she knows what for
She was crying on my shoulder, I already told ya
Trust and respect is what we do this for
I never intended to be next
But you didn't need to take him to bed, that's all
And I never saw him as a threat
Until you disappeared with him to have sex, of course
It's not like we were both on tour
We were staying on the same fucking hotel floor
And I wasn't looking for a promise or commitment
But it was never just fun, and I thought you were different
This is not the way you realised what you wanted
It's a bit too much, too late if I'm honest
And all this time, God knows I'm singing
Don't fuck with my love
That heart is so cold
All over my arm
I don't wanna know that babe
Don't fuck with my love
I told her she knows
Take aim and reload
I don't wanna know that babe
Don't fuck with my love
That heart is so cold
All over my arm
I don't wanna know that babe
Don't fuck with my love
I told her she knows
Take aim and reload
I don't wanna know that babe
I then look still holding the mic I can see caitlins frustration they ask if wanna do another song I nod my head and hold the mic again
No I don't wanna hate you
Just wish you'd never gone for the man
And waited two weeks at least
Before you let him take you
I stayed true
I kind of knew you liked the dude from private school
He's waiting for the time to move
I knew he had his eyes on you
He's not the right guy for you
Don't hate me cause I write the truth
No I would never lie to you
But it was never fine to lose you
And what a way to find out
It never came from my mouth
You never changed your mind
But you were just afraid to mind out
But fuck it, I won't be changing the subject I love it
I'll make your little secret public its nothing
I'm just disgusted with the skeletons you sleep with in your closet to get back at me
Trapped and I'm lacking sleep
Fact is you're mad at me because I backtrack so casually
You're practically my family
If we married then I'll guess you'd have to be
But tragically our love just lost the will to live
But would I kill to give it one more shot
I think not
I don't love you baby
I don't need you baby
I don't want you no
AnymoreI don't love you baby
I don't need you baby
I don't wanna love you no
Anymore
Recently I tend to zone out
Up in my headphones to Holocene
You promised your body but I'm away so much
I stay more celibate than in a monastery
Im not cut out for life on the road
'Cause I didn't know I'd miss you this much
And at the time we'd just go, so sue me
I guess I'm not the man that you need
Ever since you went to uni
I've been sofa surfing with a rucksack
Full of less cash and I guess that could get bad
But when I broke the industry
That's when I broke your heart
I was supposed to chart and celebrate
But good things are over fast
I know it's hard to deal with and see this
I tend to turn you off and switch on my professional features
Then I turn the music off
And all I'm left with is to pick up my personal pieces, Jesus
I never really want to believe this
Got advice from my dad and he
Told me that family is all I'll ever have and need
I guess I'm unaware of it
Success is nothing if you have no one left to share it with
I don't love you baby
I don't need you baby
I don't want you no
AnymoreI don't love you baby
I don't need you baby
I don't wanna love you no
Anymore
And since you left
I've given up my days off
It's what I need to stay strong
I know you have a day job
But mine is 24/7
I feel like writing a book
I guess I lied in the hook
'Cause I still love you and I need you by my side if I could
The irony is if my career and music didn't exist
In 6 years yeah you'd probably be my wife with a kid
I'm frightened to think if I depend on cider and drink
And lighting a spliff I fall into a spiral and its
Just hiding my misguiding thoughts that I'm trying to kill
And I'd be writing my will before I'm 27
I'll die from a thrill
Go down in history as just a wasted talent
Can I face the challenge
Or did I make a mistake erasing
It's only therapy
My thoughts just get ahead of me
Eventually I'll be fine I know that it was never meant to be
Either way I guess I'm not prepared
But I'll say this
These things happen for a reason and you can't change shit
Take my apology
I'm sorry for the honesty
But I had to get this off my chest
I don't love you baby
I don't need you baby
I don't want you no
AnymoreI don't love you baby
I don't need you baby
I don't wanna love you no
Anymore
i see Caitlin and the jay guy get up and leave just as the song finishes i get off the stage and cisco slaps my back "bloody hell Barry I didn't know you could actually rap.
(writers note)
I going to make a Spotify playlist with every song from the story so far so there's going to be a lot some of them won't appear exactly how they appear in the story because some of them are only the censored versions (*cough* don't and the man *cough*). I'll probably wrap it up with this block of parts but for now who knows what will happen
