Talk:Keefe and Sophie/@comment-37719459-20190228030358

So imagine, in Legacy, Sophie stays with Fitz for a while. That, paired with the grief of Tam's death at the hands of Keefe's mother, causes his sanity to shatter. As Sophie struggles to bring him back, an idea comes. That idea turns into a song, which she sings inside Keefe's head to heal him:

It's not simple to say That most days I don't recognize me That these shoes and this apron That place and its patrons Have taken more than I gave them It's not easy to know I'm not anything like I used be, although it's true I was never attention's sweet center I still remember that boy

He's imperfect, but he tries He is good, but he lies He is hard on himself He is broken and won't ask for help He is messy, but he's kind He is lonely most of the time He is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie

He is gone, but he used to be mine

It's not what I asked for Sometimes life just slips in through a back door And carves out a person and makes you believe it's all true And now I've got you And you're not what I asked for If I'm honest, I know I would give it all back For a chance to start over and rewrite an ending or two For the boy that I knew

Who'll be reckless, just enough Who'll get hurt, but who learns how to toughen up When he's bruised and gets used by a girl who can't love And then he'll get stuck And be scared of the life that's inside him Growing stronger each day 'til it finally reminds him To fight just a little, to bring back the fire in his eyes That's been gone, but used to be mine Used to be mine

He is messy, but she's kind He is lonely most of the time He is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie He is gone, but he used to be mine
