Vickie isn’t stupid and Charlie is a bad liar.
She saw Charlie and Audrey talking to each other that night at the open mic.
As much as she loves Charlie she knows she needs to leave.
It’s scary leaving the only person who can relate to her, but feeling like a consolation prize is worse than being alone.
She has also realized something that Charlie should have thought of a long time ago, and it makes it a little easier to stop loving him.
Of course she leaves him. He’s a fucking creep.
Lyrics:
I could try and pretend. Just laugh and try to transcend. Pretend that I cannot see the way that you won't see me.
The plight of loving someone like you. A struggler straying from course, with a haze of regret clouding your vision. You’re seeing either her or death, but you can't see me, so of course I'm leaving.
