Why? Why does it still hurt? Why does it still ache?
I loved you I cared for you Do you still remember? That time I asked you...
"Umm, Spitfire, may I have this dance?" I blushed deeply with fear that she might say no. "Of course you may Soarin, you don't have to be so shy about it."
Of course I shouldn't have been shy I should never be, not with her...
"Spitfire, can I ask you something?" "Sure Soarin, you can ask me anything, you know that." I gulped, it's now or never. "I love you Spitfire, I always have. You mean more than the world to me. It's okay if you don't want to but, do you want to go out sometime?" I closed my eyes hoping for the worst. What happened next, I did not expect. Tears. Tears from the Wonderbolt captain herself, but not tears of sadness, tears of joy...
I was so happy you know So happy that you said yes I didn't know you'd go so soon I wasn't ready But no one would've ever been ready
"Spitfire NO!" Her eyes pleaded for help I dived after her 500 m 400m 300m 100m 50m 10m Then she smiled Smiled at me A sad smile "I'm sorry," she said, with tears in her eyes THUD!
Do you know how much I cried for you? How much I mourned? And you know what? It still hurts I wanted it to be a dream But it replays over and over again
I looked up to the sky. I wondered if you were there, up there, looking at me. "Oh don't be such a crybaby Soar!" you would've said. Fleetfoot put her hoof around me, and pulled me into a hug. For the first time, I could let my tears out freely, and so could she. For hours we just stood there, bawling our eyes out.
I will never be the same No one ever will No one could ever replace you
I stare at the horizon Tears well out of my eyes And for the first time in a long time I smile
Shock Complete and utter shock How could I not be? When my best friend just falls out of the sky?
I didn't want to believe But I had to Seeing you So lifeless on the ground
All of those good times we spent together All of those good memories we shared Tell me Spitfire Did you think I forgot?
"Spitz! Wanna go get popcorn and have a sleepover at mine tonight?" "Sure Fleets I'll go tell my mom!"
That night was the best All of the fun we had The scary stories we shared
"Guess what?!" Spitfire ecstatically asked her bff. "I have something really SUPER DUPER exciting to tell you, but you go first!" I was really hyped to tell her about the letter I received this morning... "THE WONDERBOLTS WANT ME TO AUDITION!!!!" Spitfire squealed loudly, "OMYGOSH ME TOO!!"
Remember how happy How happy we were? When we got accepted?
"All of the cadets have been given proper consideration, however, this year 5 cadets showed amazing skills. Soarin, Spitfire, Fleetfoot, Misty Fly and Rapidfire, you have all been accepted into the Wonderbolts. Congratulations!"
Those were the the best news I have ever received In my life
I'm sorry We had a fight I'm sorry I never got to apologise I'm sorry I couldn't catch you Like I promised
I will never be the same No one ever will No one could ever replace you
And I promise The next time you fall I'll be there to catch you...
I'm sorry I let everyone down I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough
Falling Falling away like a rock Tossed away from the sky
Pain Pain from my wings Pain from my heart I can't let go
I'll never get to see Get to see anyone Ever again
Soarin Fleetfoot The Wonderbolts I'm sorry...
I still remember all the good times All the bad times I had with you guys
Fleetfoot I'm sorry we had a fight I'm sorry I never got to apologise I hope you forgive me Even if I can't forgive myself
"You're just saying that so you can get my job!" I screamed at Fleetfoot. "No! I'm saying that because you're a pathetic flyer!!" She screamed back. "Well SO ARE YOU!!!" I yelled with rage "Get out of my face! I never want to see you again! YOU WERE NEVER MY BEST FRIEND! I wish you would just DROP DEAD!!!!!!" I was left speechless as tears fall out of my eyes. I didn't need her.
Well, I guess your wish came true huh?
Soarin I'm sorry I never got to say goodbye I'm sorry we never had a chance A chance to go on one more date...
"Wow Spitfire you look beautiful!" I blushed. He always knew how to make me smile. "Thanks Soar, not looking too bad yourself!" I replied. We sat down on our table, on the finest and most expensive restaurant in Canterlot. "What would you like to order mademoiselle?" The waitress asked. After we told her what we wanted, and then devoured it like crazy (we tried to hold back for professionalism's sake, but it was too delicious) Soarin flew me home.
Remember that date? Our first date?
And now I'm falling Falling away From the heavens
You know I will never be the same Because no one could ever replace you guys And I swear
I never wanted this to happen No one did You were my hero My captain My friend
I didn't think Didn't think when I called your name Didn't think you would lose focus Didn't think you would crash Didn't think you would fall
I can't undo the past I can't bring you back I can't apologise for taking away a leader Taking away an idol Taking away a fiancé Taking away a sister Taking away a friend
I remember when they rushed you to the hospital I remember when they tried to bring you back, and failed I remember when the gave the news
"I'm sorry" The doctor said. No. No! This can't be happening! "NO!! She can't be dead! Not now! I never apologised! I never said goodbye!" Soarin comforted Fleetfoot as she was screaming. "I'm sorry..." I said with tears in my eyes. "This is all YOUR FAULT! If you hadn't been so careless I would still have a sister! Now she's gone forever!!' Blaze yelled to my face. Misty Fly and Surprise was trying to calm her down. "It's okay Crash, it was an accident. Look I'm sorry Blaze is acting irrational. I think everyone is right now" Misty Fly said to me, looking at Fleetfoot, who was now thrashing about. Blaze was right. It was my fault...
When I was little I used to look up at the sky With hope With happiness
Now I look up Knowing I took a soul
It wasn't your time I should have fallen I should've been in that coffin I should've been the one that was gone forever
Now you're gone And I can't bring you back
I hope you can forgive me I hope you can finally rest in peace I know that I never will
And someday, I will get to see you again To say sorry To express my regret To get punished
To get punished for my foolishness To get punished for my carelessness To get punished for my ignorance
I will never be the same No one ever will No one could ever replace you
And as I'm standing here upon your grave I wonder Will you ever forgive me?
