(I read these lyrics and I was like holy shit oof)

You looked so pretty standing there

You stare at Maven, eyes glazing over as you hear your name from his lips. He picked... you? Out of all of the ladies here, he picked you to be his wife? You couldn't be happier, really. You'll make your family proud and be the best princess Norta has ever had. 

And at this point I swear
You had me right then, right there

You stare up at him before moving to sit by his side. He smirks at you. He's way more handsome than you can give him credit for. Because, like the other gals, you have been starring at Cal. You didn't even notice the little brother by his side. But as you glance at his sharp features you can truly see the uniqueness of Maven Calore.

It's a shame I couldn't see
The demons in you hidden underneath

Even after days, you found yourself feeling soothed by Mavens company. Just knowing he's breathing and existing next to you calms your heart beat. You live for the moments you get to sit next to him. You don't talk to him that often. You want to ask him what made him pick you, out of everybody. A simple highhouse daughter like you doesn't stand out in the crowd. So how did you stand out to him?

But all I could see
Were those big blue eyes

"It's truly peaceful here, isn't it?" You say to him, standing next to him near a clean window. You can see the acres of nature, something you don't get to see often. You're usually locked up in a tower. 

You don't hear Maven's answer. You can feel him stand right next to you, starring off into the distance. 

Staring cruelly at me

Like you reminded him of something. Maven's blue eyes squint as his eyes search over the horizon for something he's been missing. His fists clench and his curly bangs fall over his forehead.

"Yes," he whispers. You smile at him from behind all of your negative thoughts.

It's okay, you can lie to me, baby

You say, "I love it here," before grabbing his hand, "thank you." The air around is truly indifferent, neither positive nor negative. It's some medium in between. Maven looks up at you with a small grin, nodding his head. 

It's only my feelings and heart after all!

"You are very welcome." The sound of his voice is lighter, almost happier. You both smile.

It's okay, you can shout at me, baby

The sound of Cal killing his father is something you can never forget. You gripped onto Maven's sleeve, starring at Elara's twisted mind. You did nothing. You allowed it all to happen. You didn't even run when Maven shrugged your touch away from him, making you stand on your own as you inched away.

Throw nasty words at me, baby

Even now, Maven sneers at you from across the room. He always mumbles to himself. In response, you stand up straight and pay no attention to him. Your robotic heart is put to the test as you blink away from your once innocent feelings towards him. You'll make a fancy queen, after all. 

I'll somehow, somehow

Even though he's smiling mockingly with his mother, your heart still relaxes at the sight of him. You always catch a glance. His blue eyes look the same as they did when you first met. His pupils dilate whenever he sees you before he turns away and smirks evilly to himself. His mother's snake arms always find themselves on your shoulders whenever she catches you staring at him.

Still love you the same
Same, same, I'm insane

You can't help it. You find Maven irresistible. Just the way he acts and looks is prettier than the tall trees outside. You'd rather live trapped with Maven than free without him. Maven is still an angel in your eyes. He's still the boy who'd hold your hand at night.

The affection I don't receive
Doesn't really matter much to me

Maven still lets you sleep in his bed. He understands how hard it is for you to sleep. That gives you hope. He cares about you a bit. He doesn't push you out of his heart, he's the one walking away from yours.

Because I'm hoping
That one day you'll change

As you lie awake next to Maven, you look at his tired sleeping face. His body is facing you and his hands are against his chest. By his breathing pattern, you can tell he isn't actually sleeping. You reach out, grabbing his hand. He opens his eyes. Your heart skips a beat as you two make eye contact. He moves slowly as he slowly holds your hand in his.

I don't know why I'm holding your hand

You smile and snuggle close to him, kissing his knuckles. He closes his eyes again as he tries to sleep. You just can't stop smiling.

I'll somehow, somehow
Still love you the same
Same, same, I'm insane
