Lissa Dragomir's song to Christian Ozera; YA Love Songs #2

**Super Spoiler Alert for those who haven't read Spirit Bound, #5 book in the Vampire Academy Series, you might want to avert your eyes, but feel free to come back whenever you do read it ^^**

So you remember how rocky Lissa and Christian's relationship was on book 5 right? How they fought and were in  a drama filled kind of war, neither of them wanted to back down, Christian was hurt, Lissa was pissed, etc?

Well, I've found their song! It fits that moment in their relationship to a tee.

Song's Name: The Story of Us

by Taylor Swift

I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us
How we met and the sparks flew instantly
People would say, "they're the lucky ones"

[You know, cause they are so perfect for each other; Christian deserves more credit than he gets really, he is such a great guy, I like him way more than I like Adrian]

I used to know my place was a spot next to you
Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat
'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on

[After Christian broke up with her this is how Lissa felt, lost and alone]

Oh, a simple complication
Miscommunications lead to fall out
So many things that I wish you knew
So many walls up I can't break through

[It wasn't simple, but there was definitely some miscommunication going on between them]

Now I'm standing alone
In a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know
Is it killing you
Like it's killing me?
I don't know what to say
Since a twist of fate
When it all broke down
And the story of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now
Next chapter

How'd we end up this way?
See me nervously pulling at my clothes
And trying to look busy
And you're doing your best to avoid me

I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us
How I was losing my mind when I saw you here
But you held your pride like you should have held me

[Christian did held on to his pride for a long time, and Lissa was jealous of virtually any girl who spent time with Christian so she was losing her mind]

Oh, we're scared to see the ending
Why are we pretending this is nothing?
I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how
I've never heard silence quite this loud

 

[My favorite line of the entire song is this last one. The uncomfortable silence between two people who broke up is always charged and specially between Christian and Lissa since they still loved each other, they were just mad and hurt, too hard headed to see reason]

Now I'm standing alone
In a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know
Is it killing you
Like it's killing me?
I don't know what to say
Since a twist of fate
When it all broke down
And the story of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now

This is looking like a contest
Of who can act like they care less
But I liked it better when you were on my side

The battle's in your hands now
But I would lay my armor down
If you'd say you'd rather love than fight

So many things that you wish I knew
But the story of us might be ending soon

Now I'm standing alone
In a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know
Is it killing you
Like it's killing me?
I don't know what to say
Since a twist of fate
When it all broke down
And the story of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now, now, now

And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know
Is it killing you
Like it's killing me?
I don't know what to say
Since a twist of fate
'cause we're going down
And the story of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now


Of course they kiss and make up at the end, but for when they are apart and pissed this is like the perfect song for Lissa to sing Christian.

Here is the official music video:

So what do you think?

PS; That is Kristen Prous playing the role of Lissa and Nicholas Hoult playing the role of Christian.
