Drew looks at me,
I fake a smile so he won't see
That I want and I'm need
Everything that we should be
I walked past them (by them I mean Emily and Ulrich.) I put a fake smile on my face to hide from him, how hurt I was. After about four months, I was used to putting on a fake smile, as if I had done it my whole high school career.
I'll bet she's beautiful,
That girl he talks about
And she's got everything
That I have to live without
She's everything, I thought, as I walked past them. She's smart, pretty, talented. She's a cheer leader, no wonder why he's so love struck, I thought, as I hung me head in defeat.
Drew talks to me,
I laugh cause it's so damn funny
That I can't even see
Anyone when he's with me
He always makes me laugh, no matter how hard I try not to. Its as though everyone disappears when I'm around him.
He says he's so in love,
He's finally got it right,
I wonder if he knows
He's all I think about at night
He tells me he's head-over-heels for her, and that she's the one he wants to be with forever. He either doesn't care or he doesn't realize that he haunts my dreams each night.
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing,
Don't know why I do
He's the reason for my tears, damn it!! I've never had this feeling for him before he started dating her. It's so hard to be happy for them but keep what I truly feel hidden. This is a pain I didn't intend for my heart to have.
Drew walks by me,
Can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly,
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
He used to walk home with me from school every day when we were kids. Now, that's not so, all because he's with Emily. I always go to the park that only he and I knew about, and let go of my pain and anguish.
She'd better hold him tight,
Give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes
And know she's lucky cause
Even if I hadn't gone to the secret park, I would shed my tears all the while thinking of how lucky Emily is to have a person like Ulrich. Keep him close and give him all your love, Emily, because he really deserves it...having a person like her, I thought as I sat throwing stones into the pond.
So I drive home alone,
As I turn out the light
I'll put his picture down
And maybe get some sleep tonight
After I got home, I went up to my room, not bothering to change my clothes. I looked over at my night table, and saw a picture of Ulrich having me in a headlock, while I winced and smiled at the same time. I put the picture down on its face, and tried to get some sleep.
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing,
Don't know why I do
All I did that night was toss and turn, allthewhile shedding more tears. I heard a soft knock at my door. Who the fuck is awake at 2am? I thought as I got up to answer the door. It was a complete shock, when I saw who it was.
He's the time taken up,
But there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into..
"U-Ulrich? What brings you here?" I asked. "I just came to say...I was sorry for all the pain and anguish I have caused you. I also need to tell you something," he said, trying his damndest not to blush.
"What is it?" I asked him.
"I broke things off with Emily." I was very surprised when I heard him say this. "Why did you do that?" but before I could say anything more, he cut me off. "The reason why I did it was because I knew in my heart that there was someone who meant more to me than she did," he said, staring at me. Before he could continue, I lunged at him. Hugging him tightly, not willing to let go, tears of utter joy running from my eyes.
Drew looks at me,
I fake a smile so he won't see.
I smiled up at him, this time for real...
