Spoken: Confused? Not anymore I mean, at one point I thought I was wrong But you see, he lied, he cheated, He betrayed me, then he left But I won't hurt anymore 'Cause now, all my pain is gone (So long...)
So long to all my pain (Goodnight) Goodnight to my heart ache (Goodbye... goodbye) Goodbye, sorrow I won't cry no more (I'm leavin, I'm leavin'...)
Oh, yeah yeah... Oohh... Ooh...
If you would only treat me right I'd stay here by your side But I am down to my last cry So I'm leaving you, goodbye
You turned away from opportunities To sit and talk things through But now when I say I'm leaving you You have so much to prove
So long to all my pain Good night to my heartache Goodbye sorrow I won't cry no more I'm leaving tomorrow
Stop writing me sweet letters And calling me on the phone We argued constantly when I saw you Always left me in the cold
I made the choice to finally go 'Cause I can't stand this pain It's time for my last tear to fall And me to smile again
So long to all my pain Good night to my heartache Goodbye sorrow I won't cry no more I'm leaving tomorrow...
Sorrow and heartache, Goodbye I'm leaving you, ohh... Don't wanna meet again Has got to be the end, The end... Ohh...
The sun will finally shine on me (The shine will finally shine on me) And clouds will drift away (Clouds will drift away...) There's something that's in store for me That's my brighter day... Ohh...
So long to all my pain Good night to my heartache (Good night to my heartache...) Goodbye sorrow (Oh) I won't cry no more... I'm leaving tomorrow (Tomorrow...)
So long to all my pain (So long to all my pain...) Good night to my heartache (Good night to my heartache...) Now I just can't wait, Tomorrow's too late I'm leaving you today
Woah, woah, woah, woah yeah
-Tomorrow, by Brandy (CD: Never Say Never)
Peyten watched as he walked into their home, noting his disheveled appearance... wrinkled clothing, fly-away hair-do. The saddest and most pathetic part about it was that he didn't even try to hide it anymore... their marriage had gotten so messed up that he now had affairs, openly. It was almost to the point where he would even talk to her about his 'girlfriends', that is if they even talked at all... which they rarely did. The weird thing about it was, he'd left so many times. He'd told her it was over, that he'd be happy never seeing her again... and he'd leave. But a week later, he'd always come back... and, much to even her own disbelief, she always took him back.
As Nick sat down on the couch, which was located across from the chair she was sitting in, and started watching the TV like everything was normal, Peyten suddenly got a stomach ache. How had she let her life get this way? She'd married Nick, at a young age, thinking he was her soul-mate and that nothing could ever tear them apart. The truth of the matter was, she now wondered if he ever felt the same. They started having arguments about the stupidest things, from the start. Both trying to deny that they were already having problems so soon into their marriage, they threw themselves into their careers and basically ignored the problem, and each other, instead of trying to find a solution.
Peyten stood up and walked across the room, kneeling down in front of Nick. He looked at her, a confused and 'what the hell are you doing?' look on his face. As soon as her lips crushed his, she knew she was still madly in love with him. But in that kiss she also knew he no longer loved her. Pulling away slowly, she stood from the floor and looked at him for a moment, before walking up the stairs and packing a bag of clothes. She would come back for the rest later.
Peyten had always told herself that she'd leave 'tomorrow'... but 'tomorrow' always turned into 'the next day'... and before she knew it a year, two years, three years, had passed. She couldn't ignore this anymore. She knew that 'tomorrow' had to turn into 'today'. And it did.
The End
