Athena's House—10:00 AMI guess I should've
Known better
To believe I'm a lucky chainOh, I lent my heart out forever
And finally learned
Each other's namesI tell myself
This time it's different
No goodbyes
Cause I can't bear to say itI'll never survive on
One that's coming
If I stay, ooh
Just walk awayOoh, and don't look back
'Cause if my heart breaks
It's gonna hurt so bad
You know I'm strong
But I can't take that
Before it's too lateI really wish I could blame you
But I know, that
It's no one's faultCinderella with no shoe
And the prince that
Doesn't know he's lost
He says that her face is so
Familiar, and goodbye with
Just the same old songBut this time I will not surrender
'Cause I'm gone, ooh, yeah
Just walk away
Ooh, and don't look back
'Cause if my heart breaks
It's gonna hurt so badYou know I'm strong
But I can't take that
Before it's too late
Oh, just walk awayOoh, I've got to let it go
Start protecting my heart and soul
'Cause I don't think
I'll survive a goodbye againNot again
Just walk away
And don't look back
'Cause if my heart breaks
It's gonna hurt so badYou know I'm strong
But I can't take that
Before it's too late,
Just walk awayAthena places her pen down and sighs, "Damn it, Hena."
Athena had been awake all night, pacing and thinking. And then she literally couldn't get herself to go to sleep so she stayed awake and wrote a song instead. When she got home last night, she got a call from Reggie.
She knew she couldn't ignore her sisters forever, so she decided—against her better judgment—to answer. And like she had suspected, it was about a tour. A tour that Athena did not want to go on, but she said yes anyway. Why? Because she's a mess right now and just doesn't know what to do with herself.
"Athena?!"
"In here, Reg!"
Reggie turned the corner and saw her sister looking lost in her world as she sat on her bed with her suitcase and clothes scattered around the room.
"What's wrong, Hena?" Reggie asks, "It looks like a tornado took place in here."
"Nothing," Athena says with a small sigh, "I just can't stop thinking."
