Break what was broken

Summary:

Original song from Eleanor's POV after Jasper broke up with her in season 3

Notes:

So I don't know how you felt about it but I hated that break-up in season 3 and it kinda made my heart bleed to see Eleanor that sad and heartbroken.
That series really pulled me in and I love Alexandra Park's character, I think she made that role incredibly real and tangible so I could really relate to what I think she was feeling at that time so I had to write about it.
Be warned, it's sad ;)

Work Text:

I've been pushing you away for so long, didn't know how to let you in
After so many thorns in my heart, and the times I've been betrayed
But you hold my trust, gained it back a thousand times
Now it's worse than before, don't know what I'm supposed to fight

Out of all the things keeping me from you
And the million chances I took on you

Don't just stand there like that, cold like the wall that you put between us
Your beautiful face full of hard lines, staring burning cuts into my skin
Don't walk away with cruel words, you don't know anything if you think you're not worth it
If anyone's broken it's me, and you just had to break what was broken again

I've been holding you too tight, if I could I'd wrap my arms around you and not let go
But there's something lost in your eyes, there's gotta be something that made you wanna go
Don't know what I'll do without you, but I don't know what I'll do when you come home
Can we pretend those days never existed, just so I can keep you close

Out if all the secrets standing between me & you
And the million lies I heard from you

Don't just stand there like that, cold like the wall that you put between us
Your beautiful face full of hard lines, staring burning cuts into my skin
Don't walk away with cruel words, you don't know anything if you think you're not worth it
If anyone's broken it's me, and you just had to break what was broken again

Don't look through me like I'm not here, like your mind's already somewhere else
Your ocean eyes cold like frost that's freezing all the flowers leaving them dead
Don't say these things to me, like you never meant anything you said
And I'm left to figure out why you wanted to break what was broken again

Out of all the things keeping me from you
And the million chances I took on you
Out if all the secrets standing between me & you
And the million lies I heard from you
Out if all the times I trusted in you
And the million times I could rely on you
There are a million and one chances that fell through
And you've broken what was already broken again too soon

Don't close the door on us, like it was a mistake and you're righting a wrong
Just tell me where you've gone and why you had to break what was broken again
