The quote is by Flyleaf, from the song "There for you", which was the song that inspired this particular drawing. Listen to the song here --> [link] (this youtube video was the one with the best audio quality).
The quote is supposed to be something that Spike thinks. Or at least something very similar. He's starting to realize he hasn't been a very good friend to Sam, and that hurts..
psst... anyone recognize the piece of paper he's holding?
I decided to upload this in it's sketchy version. I could've put a lot of effort in making it look better, but somehow I feel this version is sort of clearer in its meaning, and that the rough feel sort of fits it. What do you think? o.o
