Release: May 29, 1984

Lyrics:

Never be you

Take a look in my eyes

It's been a long, long time

I used to feel so strong

When I knew you were mine

Since you let me down

I'm hard to be around

I don't know what I'm gonna do

He could never be you

He could never be you

He could never be you

I guess it all comes around

Baby please don't cry

Love is gonna be a little reckless

Oh Love is all I have to stand trial

But since you let me go

There's nothing going on

I don't know what I'm gonna do

He could never be you

He could never be you

He could never be you

He knows the moves

He play's the part

But he only has me

He don't have my heart

He could never be you

He could never be you

He could never be you?

So take a look in my eyes

No you can't hide the truth

No, you don't get by on pride

Cause it'll run over you

But since you let me down

I'm hard to be around

I don't know what I'm gonna do

He could never be you

He could never be you

He could never be you

I love Matilda because it's a story about a child who sees injustice around her and gets mad about it and questions why things aren't fair, and instead of the ending being that she learns how the world works and that life isn't fair, she catapults one of the adults who abused her out of a building with her mind

“…to me” is one of the most powerful disclaimers we have on here… is this character analysis accurate? debatable. but it’s real… to me.

i think theres this idea in the general public that the "best" fanfic gets turned into real books like 50 shades of grey. but the truth is that the best fanfic can never be published as an actual book because its intricately woven into the canon material so its inseparable even if you change the names

it's always very entertaining when someone is so afraid of dying that they decide they're going to defeat death itself and in the process of pursuing this entirely reasonable and achievable goal end up inventing Death Two
