Lizzie and Gordo "Picture" Songfic
Authors Note: I still don't own Lizzie McGuire. It's quite annoying. Oh
well. Since my "What Dreams are Made of" songfic
got great reviews, I decided to do this one, even though its quite the
opposite. Please Enjoy!

Picture
-(Gordo) Livin' my life in a slow hell
Lizzie and Gordo are now in college. After Italy they became a couple. They
stayed together for four years. Sadly, in their senior year of high school
things went bad. Gordo began playing Lizzie, dating many other girls. She
left him and they lived to regret it. This songfic takes place the summer
after high school graduation. Gordo lives in a hotel (a friend who works
there lets him), and Lizzie is still at home.
-Different girl every night at the hotel
Secretly, I hated my new lifestyle. Jenna, Patty, Lina. I didn't even know
these girls. I did 'em anyway.
-I aint seen the sun shine in 3 damn days
-Been fuelin' up on cocaine and whisky
-Wish I had a good girl to miss me
Lizzie must've hated me. I can't blame her. If I were her, I'd have hated
me too.
-Lord I wonder if I'll ever change my ways
I hated it. I wanted Lizzie back. But I had to keep my reputation up.
-I put your picture away
I've always had this picture of Lizzie and I on my wall. Coming back from
Italy. A new couple. She had a copy too. She must've burned it by now. That
morning I decided it was time to do away with it. I took it off my wall and
placed it in the bottom of my underwear drawer.
-Sat down and cried the day
I couldn't stand it. Maybe I wasn't dead yet, but my life was over. That
picture brought back so many memories of when we were kids. I couldn't help
it. I had to cry.
-I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to her
I'm glad I put that picture away. Miranda came by later that night. She had
just wanted to talk, but we ended up sleeping together. It made me feel
even worst.
Especially since the next day when I went downstairs for some hotel lunch,
Jimmy, the desk guy said that a Lizzie McGuire was here to see me that
night.
-I put your picture away, sat down and cried today
I can't look at you I'm lyin' next to her
(Lizzie)
-I called you last night in the hotel
I knew I had Ethan now, but I still missed him. Even after what he did to
me, I still wanted him back. I went by his hotel one night. I went up to
the main desk.
"Excuse me, can you call up David Gordon and tell him there's a Lizzie
McGuire downstairs who wants to see him?" I asked.
The guy nodded and called him up. There was no answer. He tried 3 times,
still no answer. He was probably too busy with some girl for me.
-Everyone knows but they wont tell
Somehow, everyone in the neighborhood knew. News in the neighborhood
spreads fast. The people in the neighborhood that still have some
intelligence have been rooting for us to get back together. Mom and Dad and
Matt missed the old Gordo. So did I.
-But their half hearted smiles tell me
-Somethin' just ain't right
The next day people kept looking at me funny. Giving me these sorrowful
smiles. Something was wrong, I knew it.
-I been waitin' on you for a long time
I always thought he'd come running back to me. Saying he's sorry. I went
out with lots of guys to get over the heartache. Ethan lasted the longest.
I don't even think I love actually loved him as much as I did when I was a
kid.
-Fuelin' up on heartaches and cheap wine
-I ain't heard from you in 3 damn nights
Every night, Gordo usually calls to say goodnight. It's just this stupid
thing we started in Italy to get over starting High school. We promised
we'd call each other every night to say good night until college.
That's all we'd say.
"Good night."
"Good night."
Hang up. He'd been the one calling since we broke up though.
-I put your picture away
There's this photo of us returning from Italy. Gordo has one too. Well,
he's probably lost it by now. We're so young and happy in it. I couldn't
stand to look at it anymore. I put it in this box of old things under my
bed.
-I wonder where you been
I hadn't seen him around a while. He could've been home, but he hadn't
called "good night" in a while either.
-I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to him
Ethan had been bugging me about having that picture on my windowsill
whenever he comes by. I finally took it down.
-I put your picture away
-I wonder where you been
-I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to him
-I saw ya yesterday with an old friend
Yesterday Miranda and I were hanging out at the mall. She's still my best
friend. She totally agrees with me on the Gordo tip. We ran into him at the
mall.
(Gordo)
-It was the same ole same "how have you been"
I was cruising the mall yesterday, looking to buy some new sneakers. Lizzie
was there with Miranda. We sort of talked. Just "Hi" and stuff. I hope
Lizzie hasn't sensed anything strange between Miranda and I.
(Both)
-Since you been gone my worlds been dark and grey
(Gordo)
-You reminded me of brighter days
The three of us at the mall. It reminded me of the time when Miranda was
accused of stealing. Or Lizzie and Miranda wanted their first bra. And
sharing those huge cookies at the food court.
(Lizzie)
-I hoped you were comin' home to stay
I wished he would come back to live with his parents. Be the old Gordo
again.
-I was headin' to church
Miranda and I had just finished buying some new cosmetics. We were getting
ready to leave for 2:00 church.
(Gordo)
-I was off to drink you away
Oh, those memories! I couldn't stand it. I headed off to the bar.
(Both)
-I thought about you for a long time
-Can't seem to get you off my mind
-I can't nderstand why we're living life this way
Gordo's POV
-I found your picture today
This morning I was getting out some underwear when I saw the picture. I
wanted her back more than ever.
-I swear I'll change my ways
I'd do anything to get her back. I don't care about my reputation.
-I just called to say I want you to come back home
I picked up the phone & began to call Lizzie. She belonged with me.
Lizzie's POV
-I found your picture today
I was bored this morning and decided to look for my old stuffed animal, "Mr
Snuggles". I remembered I had put it in a box somewhere. Oh yeah, under the
bed. On top of Mr. Snuggles there was this picture.
-I swear I'll change my ways
I began to cry. Maybe somehow I was the one who ruined our relationship. I
started to dial Gordo's number. Somehow, he was already on the other end.
(Both)
I just called to say I want you to come back home
I just called to say, I love you come back home
Hope you liked it! Please review!
