Standard disclaimers apply here! I didn't think of these characters! They belong to Bandai, and to anyone else who lays claim to Gundam Wing! The song for the videoclip is written by Steven Tyler and Richie Supa! So don't sue me - I'm just a poor college student! You won't make any money!
"Amazing"
written by Steven Tyler and Richie Supa, performed by Aerosmith
I kept the right ones out
And let the wrong ones in
Had an angel of mercy to see me
through all my sins
[Heero is pointing a gun at an opponent in the shadows. His face is grim, and challenging. He faces Relena, as she steps out of the shadows]
There were times in my life
When I was goin' insane
Trying to walk through
The pain
[Relena approached Heero, and takes the gun from him confidently. Heero remains impassive, as Relena leans into kiss him softly on the lips - when their lips meet, Heero shoves her away violently]
When I lost my grip
And I hit the floor
Yeah, I thought I could leave but
Couldn't get out the door
[Relena goes flying away from Heero, tumbling onto the floor, sending her skirt flying. She lands hard on her right arm, breaking it. Wordlessly, she cradles her arm, shacking with pain, staring in disbelief at Heero]
I was so sick and tired
Of livin' a lie
I was wishin' that I
Would die
[Heero approaches Relena, and reclaims his gun. He once again aims at Relena, with a hard expression. "I never wanted you," he states clearly, shattering Relena's hopes]
It's amazing
With a blink of an eye you finally
See the light
[Relena's face crumbles as she finally realizes that Heero means what he says. There will be no reprieve - he doesn't love her]
It's amazing
When the moment arrives that you know
You'll be alright
["I never wanted you," Heero repeats. "The one I want is ..." Relena covers her ears, not able to handle Heero's statement, she begins to sob in loss, fear, and pain]
It's amazing
And I'm saying a prayer for the desperate
Hearts tonight
[Relena begins to pray softly, knowing that only one of them would be leaving the room when the night ends]
That one last shot's a Permanent Vacation
And how high can you fly with
Broken wings?
Life's a journey, not a destination
And I just can't tell you what
tomorrow brings
["Heero ..." Relena whispers. "You never wanted me? Even when you saved me?" Heero's mouth turns up slightly. "I only did that because killing you is *my* job," Heero replies. "I ... I ..." Relena is shocked speechless]
You have to learn to crawl
Before you learn to walk
But I just couldn't listen to all that
Righteous talk
I was out on the street
Just tryin' to survive
Scrachin' to stay
Alive
[Relena's face becomes composed, as she accepts reality. "I understand, Heero." She tells him, looking Heero straight in the eyes]
It's amazing
With a blink of an eye you finally
See the light
[Relena stands up, wincing in pain from her broken arm, and begins to slowly approach Heero]
It's amazing
When the moment arrive that you know
You'll be alright
[Relena has reached Heero, and leans to kiss him again. Heero, this time, does not push Relena away]
It's amazing
And I'm saying a prayer for the desperate
Hearts tonight
[Relena slumps, mid kiss and drops, limp to the ground. Her white dress is stained blood red around her heart]
