I Will Remember You . . . The Path of Thorns (Terms)

I Will Remember You

This song would be perfect for a time when Mulder and Scully were forced to separate permanently or, worse, decided to split up. It tells the story of their partnership that grew to friendship and unspoken love. Now, when they will never see each other again, they think of all their lost chances and what might have been.

I will remember you
Will you remember me
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories


Remember the good times
That we had
Let them slip away from us
When things got bad
Clearly I first saw you
Smiling in the sun
Want to feel your warmth upon me
I want to be the one


I'm so tired
But I can't sleep
Standing on the edge
Of something much too deep
It's funny how we feel so much
But cannot say a word
We are screaming inside
But can't be heard


So afraid to love you
More afraid to lose
Clinging to a past
That doesn't let me choose
Once there was a darkness
Deep in endless night
You gave me everything you had
Oh you gave me life

The Path of Thorns (Terms)

This is another song that would apply if Mulder and Scully's relationship ended. In this case, Scully is emotionally drained by being so close to a romance with Mulder, yet neither of them being able to say the words. Also, she is tired of keeping up with Mulder's moodiness and stubbornness. She loves Mulder more than anything, but must leave him because there is no chance they could ever be just friends. She cannot go on with Mulder the way they are, always on the brink of something wonderful, but never quite attaining what they both desire.

I know you wanted to tell me
In your voice there was something wrong
But if you would turn your face away from me
You cannot tell me you're so strong
Just let me ask of you one small thing
As we have shared so many tears
With fervor our dreams we planned a whole life long
Now are scattered on the wind

In the terms of endearment
In the terms of the life that you love
In the terms of the years that pass you by
In the terms of the reasons why

Through the years I've grown to love you
Though your commitment to most would offend
But I stuck by you, holding on with my foolish pride
Waiting for you to give in
You never really tried or so it seemed
I've had much more than myself to blame
I've had enough of trying everything
This time it is the end

There's no coming back this way
The path is overgrown and strewn with thorns
They've torn the lifeblood from your naked eyes
Cast aside to be forelorn
Funny how it seems that all I've ever tried to do
Seems to make no difference to you at all at all...
