My try at a song fiction?

Heart Like Mine (1) - All Falls Down (1)
Now go stand in the corner and think about what you did
I wish it was that easy, sadly it's not. We're not five anymore, though, that could be easily misunderstood by the way some people our age act. We are in senior high, fifteen years old and we don't know our boundaries. What's mine is mine, what's yours is yours. If I wanted to share, you would have known.
Time for revenge
I'm a girl. We get upset, eat a gallon of ice cream in out own, cry until our tear ducts are dried out like raisins, then we get over it. When we're over it, we get even.
The story starts when it was hot and it was summer and...
He splashed me, I splashed back. Seemingly silly at the time, but the cutesy boyfriend/girlfriend thing you always see in the movies.
I had it all, I had him right where I wanted him
Chased around the parking lot, laughing like nothing could ever go wrong. I have to admit that there, I was wrong.
She came along, got him alone and let's hear the applause
Everything was perfect, until she noticed we were happy. Funny little thing, she doesn't even wear contacts
She took him faster than you could say "sabotage"
True, I may have overreacted a little when I saw how they interacted, but I was right, wasn't I?
I never saw it coming, wouldn't have suspected it
I should have know she would do this, saw it coming from the moment she said
I underestimated just who I was dealing with
"Who's off-limits?" she asked, then came right out and said it. She's a boyfriend stealer, I will never underestimate anyone like that again.
She had to know the pain was beating in me like a drum
The looks, the whispered words behind my back. Spreading rumors, real mature.
She underestimated just who she was stealing from
Gears shift in my head, decisions made before I even thought of them. A quick stroke of my hand across my forehead, revealing my glasses-free eyes. Then the approach.
She's not a Saint, and she's not what you think, she's an actress, whoa
Not a Saint, for sure, nothing in comparison with me. That look on her face, definitely worth that extra statement. Who knows if it's true, maybe I could get him back from her. The real question is, would I want to, given the opportunity?
But she's better known for the things that she does on the mattress, whoa
I mean, clearly, they had something sexual going on, she is pregnant. Also, K.C. did leave her…
Soon she's gonna find stealing other people's toys, on the playground won't, make you many friends
The way I look at it, she only has Alli, who ironically is supposed to my best friend and hate her just as much as I do. Maybe it's pity or maybe she steals best friends too.
She should keep in mind, she should keep in mind, there is nothing I do better than revenge
Karma does find a way of getting back at people, but sometimes karma isn't enough, it's good but I want a part in this. Is that wrong? I know it's been six months, but to start forgiving her I have to make my mark first, let her know I am serious.
She looks at life like it's a party and she's on the list
In my book, she's not, but just to get to her, K.C. is on the top of it.
She looks at me like I'm a trend and she's so over it
She mostly rolls her eyes, but sometimes she'll even smile and give a little wave. I would like to give her a gesture of my own, but that might give her a little satisfaction.
I think her ever present frown is a little troubling
Its curious, I wonder why its planted there, then realize I really don't mind it.
And she thinks I'm psycho 'cause I like to rhyme her name with things
Jenna, Shenna, Blenna, Gremma. Ha, it has a nice ring to it though, she can think I'm crazy all she wants.
But sophistication isn't what you wear or who you know
It's knowing what gets to people the most, what will make the crumble at the sight of you.
Or pushing people down to get to where you wanna go
Whoops, guess I'm getting this memo a little too late.
They wouldn't teach you that in prep school so it's up to me
A lesson is a lesson, no matter who is the teacher. I guess this might be a little immature.
But no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity
Or viewers on Next Teen Star, or boyfriends you've stolen.
She's not a Saint, and she's not what you think, she's an actress, whoa
Maybe I'm not as good as people think, maybe I'm just paranoid. Saint Clare, it does have a ring to it though.
But she's better known for the things that she does on the mattress, whoa
Maybe that's why he left me, I'm not a slut. At lease I can say that, and know it's true.
Soon she's gonna find stealing other people's toys, on the playground won't, make you many friends
Am I really overreacting, she is in a lot of trouble, with K.C. being gone, fighting to win Next Teen Star, and struggling to plan on being a mother.
She should keep in mind, she should keep in mind, there is nothing I do better than revenge
Sweet revenge, sounds so much better than making friends.
I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at, honey
She still has that smug, "I won because I'm better than you," attitude.
You might have him but haven't you heard, I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at, honey
The new kid, I like him, a lot. He's cute, mysterious, and seems to have taken an interest in me. Eli, I seem to have a thing for the bad boys, even if I don't know they're bad at first.
You might have him but I always get the last word
Hopefully it's Elijah.
She's not a Saint, and she's not what you think, she's an actress, whoa
She sure did fool me, Alli too, well I think so.
But she's better known for the things that she does on the mattress, whoa
My mind sure does back track a lot, I find my self rethinking of times where K.C. were very close then times we were no where near doing anything. Then came Jenna and he really seemed into her, and a lot happier than when he was with me. Was it because she gave him something I promised for after marriage?
Soon she's gonna find, stealing other people's toys on the playground won't make you many friends
She's almost all alone, it seems wrong but I just can't let it go.
She should keep in mind, she should keep in mind, there is nothing I do better than revenge
Yeah, back to that revenge idea. Just what exactly is there to do?
Do you still feel like you know what you're doing? 'Cause I don't think you do.
Do I even know what I'm doing? I thought revenge was what I wanted.
Do you still feel like you know what you're doing? I don't think you do, I don't think you do
Maybe I don't really need revenge to be happy again, maybe
Let's hear the applause, come on show me how much better you are (so much better, yeah)
You are so much better, funny. Looks like I really won this round.
So you deserve some applause 'cause you're so much better
So much better than nothing and no one. I have what I wanted, and it's not revenge, its Eli.
She took him faster than you could say "sabotage"
Not this time around, though.
Well, there it is.
I don't know if I like the whole thing, but I figured I would try.
What did you think?
