it's strange to think the songs we used to sing
the smiles, the flowers, everything: is gone
yesterday i found out about you
even now just looking at you: feels wrong
you say that you'd take it all back, given one chance
it was a moment of weakness and you said yes...

To the delight of her parents, Eirian Alexander was being courted by Colby Hunter, only and crown prince of the Outer Hebrides. Closely (or at least, closely to their knowledge) the prince and princess of allied kingdoms were supervised and seemed to be getting on fairly well.

you should've said no, you should've gone home
you should've thought twice before you let it all go
you should've know that word, bout what you did with her
would get back to me...
and i should've been there, in the back of your mind
i shouldn't be asking myself why
you shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet...
you should've said no, baby and you might still have me

That's when Eirian discovered the problem with having a more tactful identical twin sister. Catching Pearl and Colby kissing behind their father's castle was enough for her. Not being stupid, the princess decided to cast the Hebridean away.

But Colby said he didn't know the difference between Eirian and Pearl, as they do look exactly alike. This further aggravated the Scoailte princess, saying that he should have known it was her. Whatever the truth is, Eirian is determined to discover and know the truth, and when she finds out, she is determined that Colby should be punished accordingly. Just how she is going to do this or just how she intends to punish her ex-lover is something she hasn't worked out yet. But whatever she does, she has to be sensitive about it. After all, she can't make Saor and the Outer Hebrides enemies, as much as she'd like to.

you can see that i've been crying
and baby you know all the right things: to say
but do you honestly expect me to believe
we could ever be the same...
you say that the past is the past, you need one chance
it was a moment of weakness and you said yes...
