How? Why? Those were the only two things that ran through my mind as I sat crying on my bed. How could he do this to me? Why would he do this to me? And why would he even think about TELLING me? What's wrong with him? And even worse, trying to take it back?! And even worse than that, with her?!

It doesn't matter
That you had the courage to tell me
The easy way out
Was to free up your guilt, laid it on me
What do I care?

FlASHBACK!

"Gabriella, I am so sorry. But it meant nothing!" I laughed dryly.

"Sure it didn't…"

END FLASHBACK!

If it didn't really mean a thing why'd you do it?
I'm standing here
Looking at someone who doesn't
Know they blew it, yeah

Ugh, why did he HAVE to do it? I thought he loved me. He promised me forever… Forever isn't long enough apparently.

You should have lied
Cause' your stupid mistake
Made my world crash down

FLASHBACK!

"Well, you had to do it. But first, I want to say a few things. You know what really sucks about falling for a guy, who you KNOW, you're not right for?" I asked. He didn't answer. I laughed dryly.

"You fall anyway because you think he might be different. Have fun with her. Oh, you should have lied. Goodbye," then I walked off, tears falling freely down my face.

END FLASHBACK!


Now its goodbye
No you can't take it back
Once the truth has come out of your mouth
So you tried to be honest
But honesty blew it this time
You should have lied

I groaned and threw myself backwards on my bed, looking at the picture of me and him. I sighed and threw it across my room.

"I don't get it
Where was your conscience when
You were with her
Couldn't you hear it scream out?" I yelled, at the top of my lungs. It made me feel a little better at least.

You should have lied
Cause' your stupid mistake
Made my world crash down
Now its goodbye
No you can't take it back
Once the truth has come out of your mouth
So you tried to be honest
But honesty blew it this time
You should have lied

I wrote the lyrics down on a piece of paper, ran downstairs, got into my car and drove off. I finally arrived at my destination… the beach. I walked to the edge of the shore and held the paper up, brought a lighter up to it, and lit the paper, watching it burn, before throwing it into the ocean.

It doesn't matter
That you had the courage to tell me
