Kelly
I sing You never knew the truth, and he answers The ends, the means, they broke me. I remind him that You never heard my heart, and he sings the promise that, I'll never forgive myself for you.
Being with him like this, apart from everyone else, being understood again . . . it breaks me in a whole new way. A way I can welcome and wallow in. And I desperately wish it wasn't happening here on stage in front of all these people. What's happening here is real, and personal.
It gives me a picture of me and Crash that brings me to tears.
Alarm flashes in Crash's eyes, but I sing it away and I've forgotten that I'm even playing the guitar. He's half-turned towards me now. My voice gets a rasp, just for a couple lines, because my throat is pinching. He stares at me with so much love I have to look away.
And suddenly seeing where I am breaks the spell.
