Forty-Two
"I'M GOING UNDER AND THIS TIME I FEAR THERE'S NO ONE to save me. This all or nothing really got a way of driving me crazy. I need somebody to heal. Somebody to know. Somebody to have. Somebody to hold. It's easy to say. But it's never the same. I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain.
Now the day bleeds. Into nightfall. And you're not here. To get me through it all. I let my guard down. And then you pulled the rug. I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved.
I'm going under and this time I fear there's no one to turn to. This all or nothing way of loving got me sleeping without you. Now, I need somebody to know. Somebody to heal. Somebody to have. Just to know how it feels. It's easy to say but it's never the same. I guess I kinda liked the way you helped me escape.
Now the day bleeds. Into nightfall. And you're not here. To get me through it all. I let my guard down. And then you pulled the rug. I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved.
And I tend to close my eyes when it hurts sometimes. I fall into your arms. I'll be safe in your sound 'til I come back around.
For now the day bleeds. Into nightfall. And you're not here. To get me through it all. I let my guard down. And then you pulled the rug. I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved.
But now the day bleeds. Into nightfall. And you're not here. To get me through it all. I let my guard down. And then you pulled the rug. I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved.
I let my guard down. And then you pulled the rug. I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved."

Yeah, this one is impossible to sing without shedding a single tear. But thankfully, it didn't affect on my voice. When I opened my eyes, he turned my face to him, and brushed the tears off with his thumbs.
I clenched my jaw, to hold myself from kissing him in front of the guests. "Do you have another glass of-"
"Here," he gave it to me and I drank it, more because I needed to feel to coldness than because I was thirsty. "The first song was sad, but this second one was on a whole other level, Hope. You sang it beautifully as always."
"He's right, Lady Hope," it was the Prince. "What made it even sadder was how you were able to convey the sadness through your voice and through the notes of the piano. Really beautiful. Sad and beautiful. And you also played the guitar beautifully."
When I turned to Lady Marie, she was whipping the tears of her cheeks, "Ugh, please, sing an exciting one to break this sorrowful mood. I don't like to feel sad like this."
I giggled, "I can relate with that, Lady Marie. And I think I have one that I love," I turned to the devil, who was still focused on me, "I'll dedicate it to you too, darling."
That put a beautiful smile on his lips, "What's the name?"
"Glowing in the Dark," by The Girl and the Dreamcatcher, I've used to be a big fan of Dove Cameron, and this was one of my favorite songs from her early career. "It's also love related, but way more exciting to sing and to hear." I turned to them, "I hope you will like this one, it's very energetic."
"I already know I will," she exclaimed.
Giggling, I rolled my eyes, and turned my gaze to the piano tiles, "I love this song," I whispered excited to sing it, then I closed my eyes to feel it.

"You know how I get when the sun goes down. How it feels when no one's around. I know, I know-oh-oh-oh. I know, I know-oh-oh. I get kind of lost and I can't see straight. Hate it but it's just what we take. I know, I know-oh-oh-oh. I know, I know-oh-oh.
I've been bitten by the lonely. But when I'm not the only. When I'm, when I'm not the only. One who feels it, maybe it's sick to say. But it helps that you feel the same. I know, I know-oh-oh. When the lights go out.
We're glowing in the dark. We started from a spark. We're lights that never go out. Like we've never been down. Glowing in the dark. We'll light up the Royal Cap. We're lights that never go out. 'Cause you're here with me now. Dark days but it's alright. So fine, every night. Oh-oh, whoa. Glowing in the dark. We started from a spark. We're lights that never go out. Like we've never been down. Glowing in the dark.
Doin' 2 AM, way above the clouds. Rooftop, yeah, we're just hanging out. I know, I know-oh-oh-oh. I know, I know-oh-oh. Now we're looking down like we got no fear. We got dreams and they start right here. I know, I know-oh-oh-oh. I know, I know-oh-oh.
We get bitten by the lonely. But we're not the only. Yeah we're, yeah we're not the only.
Once you know the way to get through the night. Is to bring on a little bright. I know, I know-oh-oh. When the lights go out.
We're glowing in the dark. We started from a spark. We're lights that never go out. Like we've never been down. Glowing in the dark. We'll light up the Royal Cap. We're lights that never go out. 'Cause you're here with me now. Dark days but it's alright. So fine, every night. Oh-oh, whoa. Glowing in the dark. We started from a spark. We're lights that never go out. Like we've never been down. Glowing in the dark.
When I'm bitten by the lonely. You can get to know me. I know, I know-oh-oh.
We're glowing in the dark. We started from a spark. We're lights that never go out. Like we've never been down. Glowing in the dark. We'll light up the Royal Cap. We're lights that never go out. 'Cause you're here with me now. Dark days but it's alright. So fine, every night. Oh-oh, whoa. Glowing in the dark. We started from a spark. We're lights that never go out. Like we've never been down. Glowing in the dark."

Yes, I adapted a little verse of the song, to make it better for people here, but it didn't made a big difference.
I had a wide smile on when I opened my eyes, "Isn't an energetic song?"
"I think you make it even more energetic with the way you sang it. It was clear how you like the lyrics and was excited to sing it. It made it even better," he told me already with another glass of water in hand.
"You are a genius with these songs, Lady Hope," she said happier than before. "A genius. I loved it. It even made me want to dance."
"Doesn't it?" I exclaimed excited. "It's the same with me. Though in my head, this song is made to be sang in a duet," I bit my bottle lip, "but I tried my best to express the double emotions as I imagined it."
The Prince tilted his head again, amused, "Do you have a muse for those songs, or do you just created them about yourself, Lady Hope?"
