Sodapop's Point of View

I had the notion that you'd make me change my ways
My bad habits would be gone in a matter of days

You made me want to be a better person; a person who could love someone other than family. I was a greaser and a hood. But, that all changed the night I met you.

I can remember it like yesterday. We met at the fair. I was tired from pulling extra shifts at the DX but, Steve dragged me along.

Steve ended up ditching me to hang out with Evie so I was left watching the teacups spin round and round. That was when I spotted your silky blonde curls bouncing on your shoulders as you laughed with some girlfriends. When you passed me your china blue eyes met my grey ones.

We had a connection and from that moment on we were inseparable.

I had the feeling that you'd open up my eyes
To a whole new world that had since been in disguise

You made me see a world that I was never exposed to. A world where no one was jumped for kicks and people of different economic statuses could be friends.

But that day will most likely never come for me
And it's just my luck to end up getting stuck
To everything you are
So tonight I'll sit and pick apart your pictures

But, that world was a dream for me; a place that I would never be able to find my way to. In reality I knew that I would never make it out of Tulsa. But, you could and you jumped at it the first chance you got.

We were going steady and we were happy. I wanted to marry you. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. Then, the night I was going to propose you told me you were moving to Florida.

You were going to a boarding school with rich guys who could give you more than I ever would have been able to. They were fun and exciting. They were living the normal high school life. They could take you to prom and they would graduate.

But, all I could give you was love.

That's it. I have nothing else to offer.

I'm a sixteen year old high school dropout who works full time at a gas station.

But, I gave you my love, Sandy.

Love wasn't enough, you wanted more.

So, I'm stuck looking at pictures of us when nothing could tear us away from each other. Before I could talk myself out of it, I picked up my lighter and watched the photos turning to blaze. I couldn't stop the tears from falling.

And overanalyze your words
But the truth is that I've never fallen so hard

You said we'd be together forever. And now I will never be able to give my love to anyone else again.

It's taking everything in me
Just to forget your sweater so far

Everything reminds me of you. I can still smell the vanilla in your hair and your strawberry perfume.

I had the notion that you'd make me forget the world
But your undeceive mind shows me that
You are just another girl
I had the feeling that those looks you gave me were real

Girls throw themselves at me every day at the DX. I thought you were different; but, I was wrong. Your just like them Sandy.

What if I ripped your heart apart at the seams
Maybe then you'd know how I feel

I was faithful to you and I cared for you.

What more do you want?

I wish you knew how it felt if I up and left you one day.

But that day will most likely never come for me
And it's just my luck to end up getting stuck
To everything you are
So tonight I'll sit and pick apart your pictures
And overanalyze your words
But the truth is that I've never fallen so hard
It's taking everything in me
Just to forget your sweater so far

Please, Sandy put yourself in my shoes.

I can honestly say
That I never, ever, ever felt this way
Your lips, your eyelashes, your skin

These are the parts of your body
That cause my comatose to begin

No one has or will ever make me feel the way you used to.

I can honestly say
That I never, ever, ever felt this way
Your lips, your eyelashes, your skin
These are the parts of your body
That cause my comatose to begin

I was a puppy that you lead on, and then suddenly kicked to the curb.

I will sleep another day
I don't really need to anyway
What's the point when my dreams are infected
With words you used to say
I will breathe in a moment
As long as I keep my distance
I wouldn't want to go messing anything up

When I close my eyes all I see is you. All I want is to hold you in my arms.

So don't go worrying about me
It's not like I think about you constantly
So maybe I do, but that shouldn't affect
Your life anymore
I knew it the moment you walked into the door

But, forget about me. I bet you already have.

So don't go worrying about me
It's not like I think about this constantly
So maybe I do, but that shouldn't affect
Your life anymore
I knew it the moment you walked into the door

I won't stop loving you.

But, I'll stop bothering you and your new life. I'll stop writing in hopes that you'll write back.

I'll let you get the best of me
Because there's nothing else that I do well

You've got the happy-go-lucky me.

I'll let you get the best of me
Because there's nothing else that I do well

So, there's nothing left in me now.

I'm empty.

I'll be the giver and you'll be the taker
I guess that's how this one's gonna go

I gave you my love; you just took a knife out and stabbed it.

I'll be the giver and you'll be the taker
You've got me down on my knees and I proclaim

So here's to you Sandy! Everyone,

All hail the heartbreaker
