Playlist Tease | TCOB #13

#13 of my playlist teasers. First I will name the song, then lyrics, then video, then I'll give you an excerpt from The Curse of Betrayal that goes along with the song. These teasers are small but they give you insight on the novel. So enjoy! Less than two days until the release!! 

Safe and Sound- Taylor Swift

LYRICS

I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, "I'll never let you go"
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Don't you dare look out your window, darling,
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when music's gone
Gone

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La La (La La)
La La (La La)
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La La (La La)

Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound...

TEASER

You have to stop, Ari. Please. Stop. I mentally beg him. But he doesn’t listen; he keeps fighting even as others just step aside, clearing the way.

I smile so they know I want this and that I’m going to be okay. Tears pour down my cheeks when I see Ollie limp to Ari’s side, joining his battle. My boys, battered and bruised—they will never stop fighting for me. Their love is overwhelming, and I bury my face in Hermes back, clearing my mind. 

I can’t think about them or their love. They have to stop. They need to. I don’t deserve to live when other lives have been lost. This is my sacrifice. They need to understand.
