Carrie Wilson Deserves A Redemption Arc - Tumblr Posts

I wrote a song for Carrie for my fic Friends on the Other Side (it’s in ao3 my username is Cuddly Starfish btw fifth chapter is up) and it’s like past midnight but I’m calling it Better. Imagine Carrie singing a ballad like song to Julie to apologize for what happened between them (which I have had in the fic as her stealing one of Julies songs when they were younger because we love to see Julie parallel her boys) and she’s playing an acoustic guitar

Better (Carrie Wilson):

I knew you were better but I had to be best

I held myself proudly and stuck out my chest

I know that I hurt you, please know I’m aware

And I’m sorry

I know that I hurt you

I know I was wrong

I know that you moved on;

I watched you stay strong

I know that I hurt you

So I’m singing this song

To try and tell you that

I know that I hurt you but I’m trying my best

I’ll try to be better, to pass all the tests

And I’ll say this prayer

To show you I care

I can’t ask for forgiveness

but just know that I’m there

Until you can hug me and see me and love me and know me and trust me again

I know that I hurt you

I know you’ll need time

I know that I messed up

The song wasn’t mine

And I’m probably too late

But at least the words rhyme

Or I tried to

I knew better

I’ll do better

I’ll be better

If you’ll let me try

Watch for this in future chapters of Friends on the Other Side 👀👀
