A companion song to For Natasha.
Clintasha/Blackeye.
lyrics
More and more I remember Budapest,
all the fighting and the sex.
The way you'd bring me breakfast in bed
and I kept my guard up high and I acted tough,
so you wouldn't see how in love I was.
Cuz love can be such a weakness
if it narrows down your world too much
and you can't see threats coming
until they choke you with the dust.
So when we fella apart I admit I breathed a sigh
even as I was crumbling inside.
Chorus:
Cuz/And If it's not one villain,
then it's another.
They just keep coming,
and I'm always running;
this violence begins to smother me.
But it's so lonely,
just me and my nightmares only.
So I take another chance,
I fall in love with another man,
but they always end up falling short-
god damn them.
Can't help but measure them against you
even though I don't want to,
Barton why've you done this to me?
Now I can't pretend that I see love I don't see.
Chorus
So restless, I'm so tired,
How long till I expire?
My mortality
will catch up with me.
I'll just be replaced,
no one would miss my face:
I'm just one more heroine
who tried to be more than a woman,
and no one really cared, but you.
More and more I remember Budapest
and how you'd kiss my shoulder as I dressed.
We went out dancing one night at a festival
and it rained as soon as we hit those cobblestones
but we just laughed and danced anyways.
And then it was back to bloody, violent days.
And now I wonder why
I didn't just take your hand in mine
when you asked me if I would be your bride
and we could live as civilians and retire.
But instead I told you I didn't love you
even though I only dreamed of you...
But If it's not one villain,
then it's another.
They just keep coming,
and I'm always running,
I never stop running,
I can't stop running,
this violence begins to smother me.
And I start to see
what made you want me to be
more careful of my safety
and I really just miss you, baby.
And I'm really just sorry, baby.
