Y/n lays on the couch and I sigh.

"Please don't sleep in the couch." I say.

Don't sleep on the couch again

"You told me I couldn't sleep in the room. And I'm leaving because I pay bills here to." Y/n says.

Even though you took it for the weekend

"Can you act like we're okay? Even though it's over." I say.

Kiss me like you wanna stay
Even though you're thinking about leaving

"What?" Y/n says.

"Can we just spend the rest of this time acting everything is fine?" I ask.

Please just fake it

"Just pretend that you're still attracted to me until everything gets finalized." I say.

Pretend to look when I'm naked
Don't be honest
Promise me that you want this

Y/n nods and I smile.

Say you're lucky

I lay on top of her and she wraps her arms around me.

Say you're lucky to love me like you used to
Even if it isn't true

Time Skip

The only reason we're getting a divorce is because Y/n is interested in someone else. Shit, who knows? Maybe she'll love me again.

I go downstairs and Y/n looks up.

"Good morning." Y/n says.

I want you to lie, lie right to my face

I smile and she kisses me.

Want you to put your hands on my waist
Can we just dance 'til the skies are white?

Maybe I'll just end up hurting myself even more. Maybe I'm getting a sample but I'll become addicted. I'm in too deep now.

'Cause I really can't get my heart broken tonight
I want you to

"Don't forget the parent-student lunch today." Y/n says.

"Okay." I say.

Y/n never really goes to Avery's school events because of "work." Now that I know she's been seeing someone else, that "work" could've just been her.

Regardless, I'm glad Y/n wants to do something with me. Even if it is just eating lunch with our daughter.

Show me there's a future here
Even if you've never really seen it

"I had a dream last night about us." Y/n says.

Tell me when you close your eyes I'm all you see

"Oh, really?" I ask.

Even if you don't dream it

"Yeah, it was our wedding day." She says.

Huh, strange.

2 hours later...

Avery hugs Y/n and she smiles.

"Hey, Y/n." Griffin says.

Y/n digs in her pocket and hands Griffin an envelope.

Griffin's parents don't have a lot of money. Every time Y/n sees him, she gives him an envelope full of money. I don't know how much it is but I know it's over $500 and under $1000.

"Thank you very much." Griffin says.

Y/n smiles and he walks away.

"I thought you had to work." Avery says.

"The meeting got canceled." Y/n says.

"Oh okay." Avery says.

Time Skip

I take my shirt off and Y/n stares at me.

Please just fake it
Pretend to look when I'm naked

"What?" I ask.

"Nothing." Y/n says continuing to stare at me.

"Uh, my eyes are up here." I say.

"But your boobs are down there so..." Y/n says.

Don't be honest
Promise me that you want this

I laugh and she smiles.

"I fucked up." Y/n says.

"Fucked up what?" I ask.

"I fucked up our marriage because I wasn't trying. I was just participating, I wasn't trying to get back what we had. Now that I'm trying, everything is so much better. I won't even look at her phone number." She says.

Say you're lucky

"I was so fucking lucky to have you. I was so fucking lucky to have this marriage, this family, this life — now I'm about to lose it because I gave up." She says.

Say you're lucky to love me like you used to
Even if it isn't true

I sigh and open the nightstand drawer.

I want you to lie, lie right to my face
Want you to put your hands on my waist

I take the rings out and hand Y/n hers.

Can we just dance 'til the skies are white?
'Cause I really can't get my heart broken tonight

"It's never too late to try." I say.

She smiles and hugs me. She puts her ring on her finger and I put my finger on mine.

I want you to
Touch me like you did in the beginning

"On Monday, we'll call Liam and tell him to close the case." I say.

Baby, just give me another day
Touch me like there isn't something missing

She nods and kisses me.

'Cause even if you don't stay
I want you to lie, lie right to my face

Time Skip

Want you to put your hands on my waist
Can we just dance 'til the skies are white?

"What brings you guys in?" Liam asks as we sit down.

'Cause I really can't get my heart broken tonight
I want you to lie, lie right to my face

"We want to unfile." Y/n says.

Want you to put (Put) your hands on my waist
Can we just dance (Dance) 'til the skies are white?

"This is a mutual agreement?" Liam asks.

'Cause I really can't get my heart broken tonight
I want you to

Y/n and I look at each other and nod.

Touch me like you did in the beginning
Baby, just give me another day, hmm

Liam smiles and nods.

Touch me like there isn't something missing
'Cause even if you don't stay

"I'll do it right now." Liam says typing on the keyboard.

I want you to lie, lie, lie

Y/n holds my hand and I smile.

I want you to lie, lie, lie
