Hello old friend and here we are
You and me on the last page
Does that sound familiar
Because once upon a time
I knew a girl who had a name
Just like a fairy tale
And that's exactly what she was
She was a fairy tale
But she was so more than that
She was my fairy tale
And like all fairy tales
This one had an ending
And nothing I do erases the memories from that day
But I'd give anything to forget
Because I was falling, falling, falling
I was falling deep into the void
Where it was cold and empty
Cold, empty, and without her
And I'm still falling now
It's true, Amelia
Rule #1 – The Doctor lies
And I would have breathed any word or given any breath to keep you mine
No lie would have tasted as sweet on my tongue
Than the one that would have made you stay with me
But my words and my breath were stolen fast
By your daughter in a strange, twist of fate
She did the one thing that I could not do
That I could not bear to do
She gave you up
And I hated her for it
I watched as you ran into the arms of an angel
Watched as you trembled with fear
You hesitated, Amelia
I saw you do it
And I thought that maybe you'd stay then
Because after all we've been through, Amelia
How could you leave me like that
Like we'd just shared a cab
Forget your faith in me, I'd pleaded
Forget your faith
As I kissed your precious face
Forget, and remember just how long you waited
For me to save you
But did you really think me so noble, Amelia
So noble as to let you go on without me
Because I wasn't, because you never forgot
You couldn't forget
Your entire world vanished before your eyes
And yet you still remembered
Oh, Amelia
I'm not the hero that people think I am
But I could have been yours
I wanted to be
I stood over your grave that day
I stood and I wept over your broken body
Just like I'd warned you
If heartbreak was heard, Amelia
Then mine would have shattered the stars
And burned them all to ash
The universe would have suffered then
Just as I am suffering now
And the echoes would have drowned the TARDIS
Ripping Cardiff's Bay into two once more
But it's not
It's silent like the way your eyes would be
As they met mine when no one else was looking
You were my friend, Amelia
My best friend
And when you left, you took me with you
You stole the most important parts of me
The pieces that you branded with round cheeks and orange freckles
But I suppose that my hearts were yours anyway
I suppose they always were
The world keeps on turning, Amelia
The universe still teems with adventures to come
But how is a man able to live without his hearts
And how is it possible for them break outside a body
The world keeps turning, Amelia
But I've stopped
And I know that you would have scolded me sooner
Than let me rest if you were here
But you aren't
I've stopped turning since you left
I stood over your grave and wept over your broken body
And I stopped
