Inspired by The Magicians Season 4 Episode 5, Escape from the Happy Place, told from Eliot Waugh's perspective.

lyrics

I am trapped in my memories
Reliving my deepest regret
Then it finally hit me
The one that I tried to forget

When someone good and true loved me
And he went out on a limb
I pretended it didn’t matter
Snuffed it right out and watched it break him

The truth is I was afraid
And when I am afraid I run away
So I ran away

Cause you are more
Than I felt like I deserved
Wish I had been braver
Why couldn’t I be braver

And if I get
One more chance to tell you how I feel
Next time I’ll be braver
You taught me to be braver

Did you know that I loved you
That day we first laid out the tiles
All the peaches and plums we could eat
No signs of danger for miles

In a whole other lifetime
We grew old, had a family at that
You and me, we worked for 50 years
Who gets proof of concept like that

I hate that I was afraid
But now I finally have the guts to say
I’d choose you any day

Cause you are all
I could ever want and more
Wish I had been braver
Why couldn’t I be braver

And if I get
One more chance to tell you how I feel
Next time I’ll be braver
You taught me to be braver

If I ever get out of here, Q
Know that when I’m braver
It’s cause I learned it from you

x4

Cause you are more than I felt like I deserved
Wish I had been braver
Why couldn’t I be braver
And if I get one more chance to tell you how I feel
Next time I’ll be braver
You taught me to be braver

Cause you are all I could ever want and more
Wish I had been braver
Why couldn’t I be braver
And if I get one more chance to tell you how I feel
Next time I’ll be braver
You taught me to be braver

If I ever get out of here, Q
Know that when I’m braver
It’s cause I learned it from you
