"Sing."

"What?" Luke looks surprised. And heck, I am too. I didn't expect those words to come out of my mouth, but I was curious as to how his voice sounds.

"You heard me. Sing." I urge. There's no way to change my mind now.

"Okay, what song?" He agrees, but hesitantly.

"Do you have any songs that your band wrote or..." I trail off, not knowing what I wanted him to sing. I hadn't thought that far out. Heck, I hadn't even thought about asking him to sing to me to begin with! It just popped up.

"Okay. How about Amnesia?" He offers. I don't recognize the song, but if it's one of his bands song, he'll probably sing it better than a song that's not made for his band personally.

I shrug, deciding to agree. "I don't care. I don't know what that song is anyway."

He takes a deep breath before bursting into song.

"I drove by all the places we used to hang out getting wasted

I thought about our last kiss, how it felt the way you tasted

And even though your friends tell me you're doing fine

Are you somewhere feeling lonely even though he's right beside you?

When he says those words that hurt you, do you read the ones I wrote you?

Sometimes I start to wonder, was it just a lie?

If what we had was real, how could you be fine?

'Cause I'm not fine at all

I remember the day you told me you were leaving

I remember the make-up running down your face

And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them

Like every single wish we ever made

I wish that I could wake up with amnesia

And forget about the stupid little things

Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you

And the memories I never can escape

'Cause I'm not fine at all

The pictures that you sent me they're still living in my phone

I'll admit I like to see them, I'll admit I feel alone

And all my friends keep asking why I'm not around

It hurts to know you're happy, yeah, it hurts that you've moved on

It's hard to hear your name when I haven't seen you in so long

It's like we never happened, was it just a lie?

If what we had was real, how could you be fine?

'Cause I'm not fine at all

I remember the day you told me you were leaving

I remember the make-up running down your face

And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them

Like every single wish we ever made

I wish that I could wake up with amnesia

And forget about the stupid little things
