I'd Lie
I don't think that passenger seat
has ever looked this good to me
He tells me about his night
and I count the colors in his eyes
"Oh, it was just so much fun! I really like her." Derrick said with sparks in his eyes.
Kristin nodded her head as if she cared at all about Derrick's date with Massie.
"Kristin, be quiet!" yelled their science teacher as she passed out the assignment.
"Sorry!" Kristin whispered. She hated hearing Massie and Derrick, or any of Derrick's other girls for that matter.
"She is just not like other girls you know? She's just so…" Derrick continued.
Kristin dazed off, into a world where there was no Massie. There was just her and Derrick. Before she could dream anymore there was a nudge at her side. She looked up and she saw Derrick and his beautiful eyes.
" Umm… the bell rang." Derrick said nervously
"Oh." Kristin gathered her books and ran out of the room.
…………………………..Later on that day……………………………………..
He'll never fall in love
He swears, as he runs his fingers through his hair
I'm laughing 'cause I hope he's wrong
And I don't think it ever crossed his mind
He tells a joke, I fake a smile
But I know all his favorite songs
Kristin strolled over to her puke green locker and threw her chemistry books in. Derrick was giving her a ride home, but by the looks of him sucking of Massie's face that might not happen. She closed her locker and went over to Derrick.
"Are you taking me home?" she asked
Derrick managed to look up from Massie's eyes to check his watch
"Oh! Yeah, hold on." He whispered something in Massie's ear and she giggled. She let go of his grip and walked off.
" Never fall in love," Derrick said dreamily
"Why?" Kristin asked curiously
" It's to dangerous. I love her, but when I look into her eyes I'm swept away and nothing in the world matters anymore." He said opening the door to his new truck
Kristin giggled nervously hoping he felt the same way with her.
"Alright then, enough about love. We need to study for chemistry." He joked as they pulled into Kristin's house
She opened the burgundy door toward her room.
"Do you mind if I use the bathroom." He asked setting his books onto her bed
"Yeah," Kristin smiled, "Down the hall and to your left."
Kristin watched him close the door to the bathroom and she ran to her computer and pulled up his myspace.
And I could tell you
His favorite color's green
He loves to argue
Born on the seventeenth
His sister's beautiful
He has his father's eyes
And if you ask me if I love him
I'd lie
Kristin looked over and over at his green myspace filled with pictures and words about Massie and not her. She sighed at the thought of her sitting in the church watching him get married to Massie. Suddenly she heard a flush followed by a knock at her door.
"Kristin?" Derrick peered in
"Oh!" Kristin stood up to block the view of his myspace. She tried to click out of the page but it froze.
He looks around the room
Innocently overlooks the truth
Shouldn't a light go on
Doesn't he know that I've had him memorized for so long
And he sees everything black and white
Never let nobody see him cry
I don't let nobody see me wishin' he was mine
"Umm…Ok. Let me fix it." He asked walking toward her
"NO!" Kristin yelled blocking him
"Come one, please?" he asked sweetly
"Nope!" she smiled, " We need to work" she let go of the computer and sat on her bed. He opened a textbook.
………………………………Later the next week…………………………………………
" Why don't we study at MY house today?" Derrick asked catching up to her in the hallway
"Sure." She said, she really didn't care anymore. He had Massie and she had no one.
"All right." He said looking down, " Meet me at my house at 5." He walked away
He stands there, then walks away
My God; if I could only say
I'm holding every breath for you
…………………………….Later that day………………………………………………
Kristin walked up the long set of stairs that led to Derricks room. Before she could knock on the door out stormed Massie.
"You, YOU!" Massie screamed looking at Kristin
"What?" Kristin mumbled
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Massie yelled
Kristin felt a tug at her right sholder as Derrick put her in his room and locked the door.
"What was that?" Kristin asked wide-eyed, looking around his room
"I broke up with her." He said not maing eye contact.
"I'm so sorry." Kristin couldn't help put a smile on her face; " You play?" she picked up a guitar.
He'd never tell you
But he can play guitar
I think he can see through everything but my heart
First thought when I wake up is
My God, he's beautiful
So I put on my make-up
And pray for a miracle
"In my spare time." He said strumming it. He looked up at her and smiled
Kristin stood up and looked around the room. A bright blue object caught her eye, she walked over to his computer. It was her myspace.
"Don't!" Derrick jumped up and ran to his laptop
"What?" she laughed
Yes, I could tell you
His favorite color's green
And he loves to argue
Oh, and it kills me
His sister's beautiful
He has his father's eyes
And if you ask me if I love him...
if you ask me if I love him...
I'd lie
"Nothing." He mumbled. He touched her check and kissed her on the lips
