Props to Damien Rice and his fabulously hot lyrics.
NOTE: Each part is in a different perspective. If your absolutely retarded and didn't realize that it alternates.
And so it is Just Like you said it would be.
Life goes easy on me...most of the time
And so it is, the shorter stories.
No love. No Glory. No hero in her scars.
So there she was. Another day. Standing by her locker she figured she'd stay there pretending so look busy so she wouldn't have to have a fake conversation with anyone. Like they gave a damn. She knew the second she'd walk away is the second they'd say the truth.
"Hey there, how's my girl?" She heard the familiar voice behind her and she knew who it was right away.
"Hey JT. What's up?" She kept searching through her books as he slid his arms around her waist. It was a bold move...well for JT. He was still getting the whole leading man thing down.
"Not a lot. I mean now that you're here, everything's great." Turning around and looking back at him, she smiled. He was smiling at her and looking at her like she was just the greatest thing in the world. She felt guilty for a second; for not giving him that look in return. For being even slightly annoyed with him for thinking she was so perfect. She wasn't. She was anything but. She wished he'd think that too sometimes, she wished he'd stop looking at her like that and walk away and hurt her like everyone else. She wished he's stop smiling.
"So after school, you and me, my house, some books, maybe a little romantic movie action huh?" He laughed nervously as he smiled at her again. She knew she couldn't say no. She knew she should be grateful.
Now it was her turn to laugh nervously. "Sounds great." She gave him a kiss on the cheek and walked away. And again the guilt crept back up on her, because she was so relieved to walk away from him.
And so it is. Just like you said it should be. We'll both forget...most of the time And so it is the colder water. The girl in denial. I can't Take My Eyes Off of You...I can't take my eyes off of you...
I can't take my eyes... I can't take my mind off of you.
I can't take my mind off of you...
JT was her boyfriend. He saw that clearly. Yet he wasn't jealous at all. For some reason he knew. He knew. But sometimes on days like this when he felt like he had fucked everything up he liked to remind himself of that fact. Walking down the hall on the way to 2nd everything was normal. He realized maybe this year, he could put it behind him. Maybe for some unknown reason he'd be given a second chance. Seeing Ashley he got a nervous feeling. But not the kind that he used to get. He used to love her. He really did. She was so perfect for him. Everything she did, and she was another product of his mistakes. He had made her so happy. And now she was robbed of that unfairly. He wished he could take that back. She was way too good of a person to deserve what she got out of the whole situation. He still missed Ashley, and he did remember loving her. He loved her a lot. He didn't know why but Manny....she brought something else. She brought something out in him, something he couldn't describe in words. He didn't think he would be able to. He couldn't write a song about that one, he couldn't label it. She did something to him that Ashley didn't and for that he still felt guilt. He still felt guilty for thinking those thoughts, for betraying Ashley because she didn't deserve that. He still missed her though. He missed a lot about her. He knew that wouldn't go away.
"Hey." She smiled as she approached.
"Ashley.... hey how has your summer been?" He asked, genuinely missing talking to her.
"Oh fine..." She looked up again, and he could tell she still was hurt. No matter what he did that would always be there.
"That's good," he tried to improvise searching desperately...looking to make this thing in between them less awkward.
"Well I gotta go...see you Craig." She said nervously looking away. He caught a glimpse of her sad eyes as she walked away. She was that way....what was left of her was because of him. He was his own disaster.
I can't take my mind off of you.
Can't take my mind off you.
I can't take my mind off of you.
Till I've found somebody.
and your ghost is it.
