MIX: Burn Notice | you're not my friend / some are not worth saving | PG-13 | Larry/Michael

Title: you're not my friend / some are not worth saving
Fandom: Burn Notice
Rating: PG-13 (references to violence, a twisted relationship)
Pairing: Larry/Michael
Summary: A chronicle of Michael and Larry's respective disillusionment with each other.

A/N: You might see this and want to ask me, "But Sara, didn't you just make a Larry/Michael mix?" and I might reply, "Yes, yes I did. This one is all Keith Urban's fault." Because it is. I stumbled across "You're Not My God" and was instantly struck by how perfect it was for Michael realizing Larry's just No Good. Obviously I had to create another mix around it. =P

SIDE ONE
you're not my friend
SIDE TWO
some are not worth saving
crashed / daughtry
and then I crashed into you
and I went up in flames
could've been the death of me
but then you breathed your breath in me
and I crashed into you
like a runaway train
you will consume me
but I can't walk away
sugar, we're going down / fall out boy
am I more than you bargained for yet
I've been dying to tell you anything you want to hear
cause that's just who I am this week
lie in the grass, next to the mausoleum
I'm just a notch in your bedpost
but you're just a line in a song
drop a heart, break a name
we're always sleeping in, and sleeping for the wrong team
(michael meets larry.
he's angry and larry knows what to do with that anger.
he feels validated for the first time ever.)
(when they meet, larry decides, yes, he'll have him.
he plans to seduce him.
it's the easiest goddamn thing in the world.)
big bad handsome man / imelda may
the man is tall, mad, mean, and good-lookin'
and he's got me in his eye
when he looks at me, I go weak at the knees
he's got me going like no other guy
'cause he's my big, bad, handsome man
he's got me in the palm of his hand
he's the devil divine, I'm so glad that he's mine
'cause he's my big, bad, handsome man
figured you out / nickelback
I like your pants around your feet
and I like the dirt that's on your knees
and I like the way you still say please
while you're looking up at me
you're like my favorite damn disease
and I love the places that we go
and I love the people that you know
and I love the way you can't say no
(larry's good-looking, fun, and dangerous.
how's a boy to resist?
michael certainly doesn't.)
(larry has fun with him—god, does he have fun.
there's the damage they do and the mayhem they cause.
and then there's the way michael begs.)
some kind of ride / grace potter
I believe you try to read too much between the lines
and you wonder why I
don't separate my heart from my mind
broken down, let go, you always seen to be in the know
and you move me just so
I can't tell if you're for real or for show
well you're setting me up for the big collide
caring is creepy / the shins
hold your glass up, hold it in
never betray the way you've always known it is
one day I'll be wondering how
I got so old just wondering how
I never got cold wearing nothing in the snow
this is way beyond my remote concern
of being condescending
(michael knows, on some level, that larry's playing him.
he can't bring himself to care.
it's all too thrilling.)
(larry does, in his way, regret how they part the first time.
after all, he likes the kid.
but that's life: it's necessary.)
stay tonight / matchbook romance
I just thought I'd let you know
I filled my head with your voice
and now I'm drowning
well I wrote this song for you
you can stay tonight
and make everything all right
you can hold me down
and tell me that you're right
tell me what it's like to be alone
i dare you / shinedown
hello, let me introduce you to
the characters in the show
one says yes, one says no
decide which voice in your head you can keep alive
even in madness, I know you still believe
paint me on canvas so I become
what you could never be
I dare you to tell me to walk through fire
wear my soul and call me a liar
(but larry keeps getting darker and darker.
it gets harder to reconcile.
still, he tries.)
(when they meet again, larry can't believe it.
michael thinks he's a good guy now?
he knows better.)
all there is / bad religion
and everything is barely mist
blood relations and bricks
my expression, my confession, add it up
extract a lesson, more than this
once again, like a bullet
as a friend, tell me
can that be all there is
breath / breaking benjamin
so sacrifice yourself and let me have what's left
I know that I can find the fire in your eyes
I'm going all the way, get away, please
you take the breath right out of me
you left a hole where my heart should be
you got to fight just to make it through
'cause I will be the death of you
(michael's reaction to larry's "death" is muddled.
what should he believe?
he's regretful, angry, even a little bit heartbroken.)
(he doesn't know why michael tries to hide his darkness.
he just can't bear to see him not living up to his potential.
he'd rather see him dead.)
you're not my god / keith urban
from the cradle to the grave
temptations all around
but no matter how good the fix
it's gonna take you down
now some call it a weakness
some call it a sin
but it's all the same behind each game
I see your evil grin
but you're not my god
and you're not my friend
lights out / breaking benjamin
I am done pretending
you have failed to find what's left
I will suck you dry again
some are not worth saving
you are such a pretty mess
I will choke the life within
now you want to take me down
as if I even care
I am the monster in your head
and I thought you'd learn by now
(it's not until larry comes back that things change.
he can't believe it took him so long.
but michael finally realizes the truth.)
(and eventually michael betrays him one too many times.
he cares, he does.
but larry simply can't forgive it.)
