I saw you in your red car today
Wondering how you looked okay
And you seem to be fine
And you seem to be blind
To this broken heart of mine.
There he was. Seeming to have to no care in the world. He was laughing with his three best friends. Nothing seemed to be wrong with him. He was ignorant to the girl's broken heart. Liz wiped her eyes quickly and turned away from James and walked in the other direction. How could he be okay?
There's pieces all over the place
Memories of you, I can't erase
Yeah I'm dying inside
And I don't know how to hide
Believe me, I've tried.
She thought of all the times they shared. Their first date. He took her to the beach and they had a picnic. Then they ended up falling asleep on the blanket. Then their first kiss. Surprisingly, it wasn't after that first date. It was almost two weeks later. It was perfect. It was a simple kiss. But perfect. The first time they said 'I love you'. The first time he slept over at her apartment. Their first time. The secret make out sessions in the cabanas. Meeting his mom. Him meeting her parents. Sneaking out at midnight to look at the stars and swim.
Maybe if you knew my pain
Maybe you feel the same
Maybe you'd cry my name
Every time I walked away
Would you
Could you
Have trouble falling asleep?
If you knew what I'm going through
If I could only switch hearts with you
Switch hearts,
Switch hearts with you (x2)
She had to move on. He certainly wasn't grieving over the break up. If he was, he was an amazing actor. She couldn't be the ex-girlfriend who could never get over him. She knew (even if it broke her heart) that there was more to life than James Diamond.
If you saw me in my white car today
Would you tell me that you thought I looked okay?
Cause I'm doing fine
And you seem to be blind
To this broken heart of mine
Liz didn't see James for a week or two. Not seeing him was helping her move on. Slowly, but surely.
"Liz." She stopped in her tracks and turned around. James was behind her, biting his lip. Probably anticipating the slap that came last time they talked. "Haven't seen you in a while."
"Yeah." She nodded and put her stuff in her little white car.
"You look good." He commented.
"So do you." She responded. "I have to get going. My sister is expecting me." She didn't wait for a reply. Waving, she got in her car and left.
Maybe if you knew my pain
Maybe you'd feel the same

She couldn't stop thinking about him. Looking at the clock, 2:57 in neon green letters stared back at her. She couldn't tell you the last time she slept soundly… Well the last time she could remember was the night before James broke up with her. Before he told her that he had cheated on her with blonde Jennifer. Before everything turned wrong.
Only then, could you see my point of view.
Only then could you see my shade of blue.
Only then, only then, only then
Maybe if you knew my pain
Maybe you'd feel the same
Maybe you'd cry my name
Every time I walked away
Would you
Could you
Have trouble falling asleep?
If you knew what I'm going through
If you knew what I'm going through
If I could only switch hearts with you.
Switch hearts
Switch hearts with you
If I could only switch hearts with you
Switch hearts
Switch hearts with you
I saw you in your red car today
Wondering how you looked okay…
