Second Love (Lily’s Song) about Lily Evans in Choices
okay so if you saw me post about this before here it is
i wrote this song from lily’s perspective after reg dies in choices by messermoon and she finds out about everything between reg and james
it absolutely DESTROYED me to write this and i needed to share with people that understand the PAIN
also- this is a demo so it’s unfinished but i’m thinking of eventually releasing it?? so yeah
anyway enough of me rambling here it is and the lyrics are listed below!
Lyrics:
Verse 1
what does it mean to be good
when you’ve been so cruel
how do you judge what’s right
when you made the rules
said I’m the “love of your life”
was that ever true
I can feel every lie
like a stray bullet wound
Chorus
and I hate that you need me
after what you did
they say “the truth sets you free”
but I can’t believe it
because I’ll still hold your hand
as you grieve your lost cause
and you’ll wipe my tears
as I breathe through the loss
Verse 2
you said “he wants to be kind
does that mean nothing at all?”
and I’ll pray to who’ll listen
that you live through the fall
how did you hide so well
with no self-control
how do you want so deeply
that it sears through your soul
[Chorus]
Bridge
and now that it’s out
there’s no going back
to the life that we lived
to the warmth that we had
and now that he’s gone
so is the mask that you’d wear
wish i could say that “we’re done”
but i know better than that
[Chorus]
Outro
because we’re all we have left
after it’s all said and done
so i guess i’ll learn to live
with being your second love
your second love
