Never knew how this would go,
something I have never known.
They don’t cover in the tv shows.
But now my fog is coming clear
not sure if I’ll like it here.
But i’m not ready to let it go
if I show - they will know.
I’m shaking, but I will stay.
I’m scared, but I won’t run away.
The sound of your voice, can drown out my fears.
If you will be there,
I will be here. I will be here.
Hudson:
Do you ever feel like you need to earn care?
like- you know people don’t naturally like you.
You have to do something to earn it?
Then what? What happens when you run out of stuff to give.
They don’t need anything from you anymore,
or you need something.
Then you’re just a body of needs that’s too much,
for other people to take on.
My dad wouldn’t talk to me about it,
Simon was the only one there for me.
This is my letter.
It was just a note saying I didn’t want to bother anyone anymore.
It said I...
was going to end my life.
Aurora:
I’ve been scared sometimes. But I’m still around.
We’re around. It means we’re strong, right?
Weak people don’t have struggles and keep going...so we won.
Hudson:
The only I ever won was a VHS at my dad’s yard sale.
Aurora
What’s a VHS?
Hudson:
So maybe you, are scared to dance.
I guess tonight, I'll take that chance.
Learn to trust, a simple melody.
Just listen close, it takes a while.
I'll look away and hope you'll smile.
A subtle change will come on subtly.
I'm hoping, you're not far away.
I'll ask you, oh please Terri stay.
The sound of your voice,
makes everything clear.
If you will be there,
I will be here.
I will be here.
Instrumental
Aurora:
Hudson? Hudson!
Hudson:
How far are you willing to go, Aurora?
Aurora:
Huh? What are you talking about?
Hudson:
If you really care about me, you wouldn’t lie to me.
Aurora:
I’m lying to you because I care, Hudson,
I don’t want you to be alone!
Hudson:
If you know how it feels to be with someone
and feel alone, why did you do it to me?
Aurora:
I don’t know.
