[NINA]
Benny get in here

[BENNY]
Did I wake you
I was wandering
And I found myself at your door
Is your brother home?

[NINA]
He's gone
Is that who you came here for?

[BENNY]
No
I need to talk to you alone
Are your parents awake?

[NINA]
They're in bed for the night
Go ahead it's alright
What did you want to say?

[BENNY]
I-I can't explain

[NINA]
Are you okay?

[BENNY]
I've got this aching pain

[NINA]
Benny what's wrong with you tonight
You look like someone died
Oh God did someone die?

[BENNY]
It's nothing like that

[NINA]
I wish I could've come along with you tonight
Did Lincoln tell you I'm grounded?

[BENNY]
No

[NINA]
Well he's the reason I'm grounded
Sit down
Did you want something from me?

[BENNY] [NINA] Don't speak just be patient with me I've got so much inside I've tried to hide Don’t hide But I should say today Just say I've gone insane this pain This pain feels like this pain feels like hunger under my skin I can't begin
[NINA]
All my life
I have known you
I have prayed one day
You would turn around
And see how much I long for you

[BENNY]
But I'm wrong for you

[NINA]
I don't care
I love you
I love you
I'm sure you know I love you

[BENNY]
I love you

[NINA]
I love you

[BENNY]
I love you
It hurts so much but I love you
