Rodney - Hey.
Elizabeth - Leave me alone.
Rodney - Not today.
Elizabeth - How did you know just where I would be?
Rodney - Does it matter to you?
Elizabeth - You found me when no one else was looking.
Rodney - No way.
Elizabeth - Dedicated, you took the time.
Rodney - Even if everything goes wrong and we start to fall apart I will understand where you are.
Elizabeth - When I tried to speak out, felt like no one could hear me.
Rodney - A small confession, I think I'm starting to lose it.
Elizabeth - I heard you cry every night in your sleep.
Rodney - I don't want to be left alone. I felt so empty and now I'm fine.
Elizabeth - So together but so broken up inside.
Rodney - How have you been?
Elizabeth - It's like I'm lost. It's like I'm giving up slowly.
Rodney - Believe me, I'm just as lost as you. I can't escape winding down these halls.
Elizabeth - No, I can't sleep.
Rodney - Every time I try, I think about your face.
Elizabeth - I have myself to blame. Here's the thing, we started out friends.
Rodney - And now you need more.
Elizabeth - I gotta take a risk, though it's not easy.
Rodney - I know I've always loved you.
Elizabeth - Stop all your pretending.
Rodney - I remember the way you made me feel when I was with you. The smile that always brought me back to you.
Elizabeth - I always dreamed that love would be effortless.
Rodney - And how far have we come? Too far to throw away the past.
Elizabeth - I used to stand so tall, I used to be so strong.
Rodney - I can't remember the last time you cared about anything.
Elizabeth - I'd become comfortably numb.
Rodney - Pretending to be something you are not.
Elizabeth - I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt.
Rodney - I think it's time for a change, don't you?
Elizabeth - I'm already gone, doesn't matter what you do.
Rodney - So lost. What are you thinking?
Elizabeth - I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty.
Rodney - That look in your eyes. All the time you laugh, you wait to cry.
Elizabeth - I cannot cry because I know that's weakness. I find it hard to trust not only me but everyone around me.
Rodney - Stop trying to control everything and fuck what they say.
Elizabeth - You don't care?
Rodney - Not when I'm right next to you.
Elizabeth - I guess you saw what nobody could see.
Rodney - I pretend to be everything they like, and I trade everything for this. I think I'm drifting away from the people I really need. I want to start over again.
Elizabeth - I want a man by my side, not a boy who runs and hides. Are you gonna fight for me, die for me, live and breathe for me? Cause if you aren't then just leave.
Rodney - What the fuck do I have to say?! Name your price I would give anything.
Elizabeth - All I needed was the truth. You say you care, where is your heart?
Rodney - Every now and then, I see just one small chance to be myself to try and make it last. So I'll be here, waiting for you.
Elizabeth - I wish you knew, I watched you die, you fell so hard. Just seeing you it kills me now. I try my hardest just to forget everything.
Rodney - Some things you can't erase no matter how hard you try.
Elizabeth - So here we are, you're by my side.
Rodney - Will we ever feel this real again?
Elizabeth - No way to tell what's real from what isn't there. And now I dread each day, knowing that I can't be saved.
Rodney - Just wait. I'll run away with you by my side.
Elizabeth - I'm waiting... Could you try to find me, are you listening?
Rodney - Well patience was never one of your true virtues.
Elizabeth - I used to be scared of letting someone in, but it gets so lonely being on my own with no one to talk to and no one to hold me.
Rodney - Don't be the one to let go, the one alone.
Elizabeth - Just walk away.
Rodney - I've been here too long and I've spent too much time.
Elizabeth - Goodbye.
