We both know that I shouldn't be here, this is wrong
And baby it's killin' me, it's killin' you, both of us tryin' to be strong
He couldn't! It wasn't possible! It simply could not be possible! But he was ... in
love ...
I've got somewhere else to be, promises to keep
Someone else who loves me, and trust me fast asleep
He had seen her from afar, watching her whenever Eris's back was turned. Observing every
movement of her hands, every twinkle in her eye, every flap of her cape, every swish of her
silky hair, every blow she dealt to her companions and enemies alike. There was only one
problem. He had to kill her.
I've made up my mind, there is no turning back
She's been good to me, and she deserves better than that
She had never done anything to him specifically, but she had done something to his
predecessor. The one he was created from. The one that Eris was so devoted to. He hated
Eris for that, for making him like Him. He could care less about Lina's death, but it was
necessary, no matter how much it hurt ...
It's the hardest thing I'll never have to do
To look you in the eye and tell you I don't love you
He must kill her! To prove to Eris forever that he was not Rezo and never
would be Rezo!
It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to lie
To show no emotion when you start to cry
He didn't want to hurt Lina. In fact, he just wanted to see her face to face. Maybe she
would accept him as himself, not as a copy. She accepted the Chimera as he was. Why not
himself?
I can't let you see what you mean to me
When my hands are tied and my heart's not free
He had no choice ...
We're not meant to be it's the hardest thing I'll never have to do
To turn around and walk away pretending I don't love you
Could he pull it off when she finally came to him? Could he hold his emotion inside when
he made the killing blow?
I know that we'll meet again, Fate has a place and time
So you can get on wit your life, I've got to be cruel to be kind
Fate was crueler than cruel in making the woman who was supposed to be his enemy his
heart's desire.
Like Dr. Zhivago, all my love I'll be sending
And you'll never know 'cause there can be no happy ending
There was no way out of this. No way to save her. No way to save himself.
It's the hardest thing I'll never have to do
To look you in the eye and tell you I don't love you
They were coming, she was coming. In a moment of pure triviality, he spent the entire
day planning his wardrobe. What would he say?! Forget that, what would he do?!
It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to lie
To show no emotion when you start to cry
Damn Eris for her interference! If it wasn't for her .... He wouldn't be alive ... he
owed her, and because of that he would have to kill his "enemy".
I can't let you see what you mean to me
When my hands are tied and my heart's not free
He would be strong ... he would prove himself. He just wanted to prove himself to
Lina ...
We're not meant to be it's the hardest thing I'll never have to do
To turn around and walk away pretending I don't love you
They were here ... and she was more beautiful than any image or picture could possibly be
or show. More fire, more life. A life he would have to snuff out. If only he
could hold her once ... and tell her how much he loved her ...
Maybe another time, another day
As much as I want to, I can't stay
He couldn't delay any longer with this lie, the lie of weakness. Eris was suspecting.
He left. Let her find him, he was finding Lina.
I've made up my mind, there is no turning back
She's been good to me and she deserves better than that
It is thrilling to race her to the heart of His lab. Thrilling to see she had
succeeded. She could save herself now.
It's the hardest thing I'll never have to do
To look you in the eye and tell you I don't love you
Damn Eris again! He would make her suffer for interfering with him. Her "control" had
gone on long enough. Good-bye Eris.
It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to lie
To show no emotion when you start to cry
She only needed to cast the spell! Just kill him and save her life. To die by her hands
was worth more than any success over Him.
I can't let you see what you mean to me
When my hands are tied and my heart's not free
I promise to be gentle and quick. I promise to make it as easy as I can. Goodbye
Lina-chan ... beloved ...
We're not meant to be it's the hardest thing I'll never have to do
To turn around and walk away pretending I don't love you
