And if I could turn back the clock
I'd make sure the light defeated the dark
I'd spend every hour, of every day
Keeping you safe
I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
Oh, 'cause I need you to see
That you are the reason
- “You Are The Reason” by Calum Scott

Songs and lyrics that inspired my super angsty Phlint soulmate AU, which is a sort of sequel to "On Soulmate Theory". I can't give context, as that would be spoiler-y, so songs and lyrics with no context! Lines in bold are particularly inspirational for this fic. But it's mostly the vibe that counts!
Blaze of Glory by Bon Jovi
I wake up in the morning
And I raise my weary head
I got an old coat for a pillow
And the earth was last night's bed
I don't know where I'm going
Only God knows where I've been
I'm a devil on the run
A six gun lover
A candle in the wind
The High Road by Three Days Grace
I told you I was hurt
Bleeding on the inside
I told you I was lost
In the middle of my life
There's times I stayed alive for you
There's times I would have died for you
There's times it didn't matter at all
Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus, but I'm going to link the recent Dolly Parton/Miley Cyrus version because it is *chef's kiss*
Don't you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you
I can't live a lie, running for my life
I will always want you
I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me
Don't Give Up On Me by Andy Grammar
I'm not givin' up
I'm not givin' up, givin' up
No not me
Even when nobody else believes
I'm not goin' down that easily
So don't give up on me
I'll Be by Edwin McCain
And I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
Fall For You by Secondhand Serenade, and this is probably what I'll use to title the fic and the song I listen to most on repeat while thinking about this fic.
This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed, but I have loved you from the start
Oh, but hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you, over again
Don't make me change my mind
Don't Want to Miss A Thing by Aerosmith. To leave you on the more hopeful note that this does in fact end happy, despite everything.
Lying close to you, feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God we're together
And I just wanna stay with you in this moment forever
Forever and ever
There are waaaaaaaay more songs in this playlist, but these are some of the core emotional beats if you will.
