I Don't Want That For You (Peridot to Lapis)
Everyone tells me that this gets easier, but I still don't believe it.
Especially now, I can see your apprehension. And I wish I could help you,
but what can I do?
I don't want this for you.
(Hologram screen starts beeping, shows Lapis in her cell staring up at the screen pleadingly)
(Peridot looks longingly at her, then turns away abruptly.)
Everyone says that my emotions are blinding me, and maybe they're right.
But what about you? I really want to protect you.
What if somehow you get hurt, what would I do?
I don't want that for you.
Ooooo,
Please do what they say,
And they might spare you,
Of what, I just can't say...
(Peridot closes her eyes and has some flashbacks from the episodes Mirror Gem and Ocean Gem.)
What am I going to tell you?
You're better off not knowing, the trouble you're in.
I don't want you to worry, about what they might do when they find out where you've been
You shouldn't have to be a part of this, I promise I'll find someway to help
But you don't
