Feels Like Forever (An Austin Carlile Love Story)

Chapter 14: I'd like to welcome a very special person to the stage

Chapter 14: I'd like to welcome a very special person to the stage

Austin's P.O.V.

We were just about to go on stage, Callie was in between the barrier to the pit and the stage taking photos of fans. Tonight was the night I was gonna fight for her. The intro music started and Tino went on stage followed by Aaron, Alan and Phil. 2 minutes later I went on the dark stage and everyone screamed. The guys started playing Bones Exposed and I started yelling.

It's like loving a lion that cannot be tamed,

I snap at the thought or the sound of your name.

Pulling teeth from my stomach,

you've been eaten alive.

My blood fills your lungs,

my soul, you're inside.

My feet they stand on ashes from the fires that you've made.

Burning bridges just to save your face.

If I say I wouldn't be hostile,

could you say you would do the same?

If we're all made just a little bit broken,

tell me who is to blame?

tell me who is to blame?

I'm sensing a feeling picking wounds of regret,

That left alone there's no scarring I'll dig and I'll dig,

Scratching and itching I'll keep biting my lip,

from this pain that I'm feeling,

picking wounds of regret.

A cut cannot heal,

unless you leave it alone.

I'll open mine daily,

leaving bones exposed.

If I say I wouldn't be hostile,

could you say you would do the same?

If we're all made just a little bit broken,

tell me who is to blame?

tell me who is to blame?

Standing on ashes from the fires you've made,

burning your bridges just to save your face.

Wounds of regret.

If I say I wouldn't be hostile,

could you say you would do the same?

If we're all made just a little bit broken,

tell me who is to blame?

tell me who is to blame?

We're broken, imperfect,

we were all made the same.

We're broken, we're broken, imperfect,

we are all to blame. 

The song finished and I yelled into the mic "How you doin' Houston?" everyone screamed. I looked at Callie taking photos of the guys and I. I walked over to Aaron and whispered "Would you still be there" he nodded and told the others.

"Alright Houston, I'd to welcome a very special person to the stage, Callie West" Callie looked at me and then headed backstage. She was soon sidestage and I motioned for her to come out. She walked out and whispered "What are you doing?", "Fighting for you" I whispered in her ear. Alan brought out a stool and motioned for her to sit.

"So guys this is Callie and she means the world to me. She said I needed to fight for her and that's exactly what I'm doing. This song is called Would You Still Be There" the crowd screamed and the boys started playing.

If I could find the words, if I could shake the world,

If I could turn back time would you still be there?

I can't stop thinking about the way

I left you sinking with no escape.

Now there's no lifeline, no way to save.

But maybe next time I won't throw it all away.

I ask myself everyday...

If I could find the words, if I could shake the world,

If I could turn back time would you still be there?

If I could find the words to say,

If I could shake the world to break you down,

Then would you still be there?

Would you still be there? [2x]

Dislocated, I lie awake

Suffocating in my mistakes.

I lost my halo when I fell from grace,

But maybe next time I won't throw it all away.

I ask myself everyday...

If I could find the words, if I could shake the world,

If I could turn back time would you still be there?

If I could find the words to say,

If I could shake the world to break you down,

Then would you still be there?

There's no dancing around it,

I crawl into the fire then fan the flames,

And I can't stand it

And I can't stand it

But I don't have the strength to burn the page

If I could find the words, if I could shake the world,

If I could turn back time would you still be there?

If I could find the words, if I could shake the world,

If I could turn back time would you still be there?

If I could find the words to say,

If I could shake the world to break you down

Then would you still be there? 

We finished the song and turned to Callie.

"I will always be there for you Cal, you mean everything to me, you're my whole world and I love you" I said into the mic, a tear ran down her face and I quickly wiped it away, she stood up and whispered in my ear.

I love you too
