Work Text:

How many times do you need to die, before I'll understand that I love you?
How many times do I need to lose you, just  to realise that I need you?
You came from above, like an angel. White and shiny. But they dragged  you down here, to hell.  Just to meet me, your traitorous friend.

I came from below, where the day is dark and the nights are darker.
I came from below, where all hope is lost and happiness is a bittersweet dream.
 You raise  me up, just so I will let you fall.  
 You raise me up, so I'll let you down.
 
They call you the dark knight, but I know you. You are just a little boy, scared and alone in the dark. Desperate for some love. 
I was a little girl too, lost in these endless nights, Until you came. My light. My dark knight. But you weren't a knight, you were just a little boy, holding my hand and begging me not let go.
But I let go. I left you there alone, in the dark. 

How many times do you need to die before I'll understand that I love you?
How many times do I need to lose you, just  to realise that I need you?
How many times do I need to leave you, just so you'll finally give up on me? 
How many times do you need to hold me, just so I'll believe that you really love me?
