Summary -- Some musings about Lilah and her relationship with
Wesley. Angsty and accompanied by the equally angsty 'Stop!' by Sam Brown.


All that I have is all that you've given me


All her life, Lilah Morgan had been empty. And happy to be that way-


did you never worry that I'd come to depend on you?


-when it had given her success, esteem and respect. She had been independant,
wanted and unattainable.


I gave you all the love I had in me


At Wolfram and Hart, you signed away your soul, so she had never seen the point
in love. She'd never thought she was capable. Love was reserved for do-gooders
and people who had nothing better to do.


now I find you've lied and I can't believe it's true


That was what she believed.
Really.


Wrapped in her arms I see you across the street


She should have known that Wesley was trouble from the start.


and I can't help but wonder if she knows what's going on


Wesley with his perfect-


you talk of love but you don't know how it feels


-beautiful-


when you realise that you're not the only one


-innocent Fred. He reminded her she wasn't the one he loved, and she reminded
him and herself that she couldn't love,


Oh you'd better stop before you tear me all apart

you'd better stop before you go and break my heart

ooh you'd better stop


But she could. And she knew it.


Time after time I've tried to walk away


She should have never gone to him.


but it's not that easy when your soul is torn in two


Im public she was the alluring seductress, detached and promising; in private
she was the victim.


so I just resign myself to it every day


And she carried on-


now all I can do is to leave it up to you


-wishing he would end the sordid thing that had grown, because it was consuming
her-


Oh you'd better stop before you tear me all apart

you'd better stop before you go and break my heart

ooh you'd better stop


And for once in her life, she felt completely powerless.


Stop if love me


Everyday he loved Winifred


now's the time to be sorry


Every night he was more tender


I won't believe that you'd walk out on me


And he'd tried to save her soul.


Lilah Morgan could love. He'd done that much.



The End
