"Maya forgave you? Doesn't matter it won't last. You know, you can't keep up this act for long -- Eventually Maya's gonna see what I see -- you're a psycho. You know, it just sucks that Maya's gonna have to deal with it, and if you cared about her, at all, then you'd get out of her life now. Forever." |
