You're on the phone with your girlfriend,
She's upset,
She's going off about something that you said,
Because she doesn't get your humour like I do,
Nina doesn't understand Fabian like I do. Our entire inside jokes, that nobody except us would ever understand. She was always having a fit if Fabian said one thing nice to any other girl, except maybe Amber.
I'm in the room,
It's a typical Tuesday night,
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like,
And she'll never know your story like I do,
Nina will never know Fabian as much as I do. We were best friends, he told me everything. And so did I to him. I and Fabian had so much more in common than Nina and Fabian.
But she wears short skirts,
I wear t-shirts,
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers,
But Nina was so much more exciting than I was. A shiny new American for Fabian to have. She was a girly girl, obviously taking lessons from Amber, with miniskirts while I wore jeans and tops.
Dreaming' 'bout the day when you wake up and find,
That what you're looking for has been here this whole time,
I was so much better for Fabian than Nina was. I've been here for him forever, but I don't think he's noticed that yet.
If you can see that I'm the one, who understands you,
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me…
You belong with me.
Nina didn't understand Fabian. All of his cute quirks and jokes, and when he felt sad she didn't know how to comfort him.
Walkin' the streets with you and your worn-out jeans,
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be,
Laughin' on a park bench thinkin' to myself,
Hey isn't this easy?
I miss the times before Nina when me and Fabian used to go out (just as friends) to go for walks, to the movies and just going out. We used to have such a great time when it used to be just us.
And you've got a smile that can light up this whole town,
Thinking about how beautiful he was made me smile. He used to smile for only me, but until recently he started smiling like that for Nina.
I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down,
You say your fine I know you better than that,
Hey what you doing with a girl like that?
Nina was constantly bringing Fabian down, I've seen it. Even though everyone insists Fabina is the 'perfect couple'. Fabian always said he was fine, but when I looked in his eyes I could tell he wasn't.
But she wears high-heels,
I wear sneakers,
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers,
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and fine,
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time.
If you can see that I'm the one, who understands you,
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me,
Standin' by waiting at your back door,
All this time how could you not know baby?
You belong with me,
You belong with me,
Oh, Fabian, please, please try to see.
Oh,
I remember you driving to the house in the middle of the night,
I'm the one who made you laugh when you know your 'bout to cry,
And I know your favourite songs,
And you tell me 'bout you're dreams,
Think I know where you belong,
Think I know it's with me….
Fabian used to come to my house at nights when my parents fought badly, he helped me through them. And I used to go to his, when his drunken uncle used to abuse him. I always made him laughed when he was about to cry about that. We used to listen to our favourite songs on repeat all through the nights and days. We used to lie down in fields and talk about our future, or dreams. They both had each other in it, now that we're in the future… Well, it's different than what we imagined.
Can't you can see that I'm the one who understands you,
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me,
You belong with me.
Standing by waiting at your back door all this time how could you not know,
Baby,
You belong with me,
You belong with me
I've waited for Fabian for what seems like forever, even though its only been about two years.
You belong with me!
Have you ever just thought baby,
You belong with me?
You belong with me.
"You okay, Joy?" Fabian asks
I take my headphones out and smile.
"Yeah. I'm Joy." I smile
Fabian laughs a little, then runs off to join the other five. Nina laughs at something, and Fabian smiles and wraps his arm around her, already beaming for just being with her.
My heart shatters.
