With my heart tied behind my back
You can’t help it when I look at you like that
Don’t deny it cause we both know
I could love you with my eyes closed
I could love you with my eyes closed
Who listens to your sad songs
The shoulder that you cry on
Out on that ledge you walk on
When you’re sinking
Who keeps your secrets locked up
When there’s no one you can trust
I know it’s much more than just wishful thinking
Just say the words and you know I’ll be there
With my heart tied behind my back
You can’t help it when I look at you like that
Don’t deny it cause we both know
I could love you with my eyes closed
I could love you with my eyes closed
I clenched the phone so tightly in my hand, I was sure I would break it.
I got it now . . . who she’d started writing about. Ben. Because there’d never been anyone else for Charlie than him until I’d finally seen what I should have long ago.
But I also knew she’d changed the song to start writing about me. Well, Stranger, for her.
And right now all I could see was that part where she talked about her heart and loving him.
Was it possible to be jealous of yourself?
Was it possible to be mad that your girl was in love with you?
When she didn’t realize that it was you, and thought it was another man entirely, the answer was yes.
I shoved my car into gear and took off away from the lake without thinking about what I was about to do.
I was back at Charlie’s faster than I should have been, and though I knew I needed to calm myself down, each step closer to her door had my anger growing hotter.
The door was unlocked and I flung it open easily, and I only spared a second to glance in the direction of Keith’s room to make sure I didn’t see or hear him before storming into Charlie’s room.
The smile that had been lighting up her face immediately fell when she noticed my anger, and though she called my name, I didn’t respond.
My eyes scanned her room for the journal that was no longer on the nightstand. As soon as they landed on it, I walked over and snatched it up from where it sat next to her on the bed, and didn’t miss the way she reached for it, trying to stop me, as though she was afraid of me having it.
