Walking off that stage tonight -
I know what you're thinking, yeah
He stands alone because he's high on himself
But if you only knew...
Gaara was about five seconds away from falling asleep when he heard a loud banging on the door. Yawning, he opened the door to come face to face with Sakura, his childhood friend. She looked half-drunk, and tears streamed down her cheeks.
I was terrified and would you mind if I sat
Next to you and watched you smile?
So many kids but I only see you
And I don't think you notice me,
"Saki-chan, why are you here?"
"Gaara, Sasuke cheated on me. I wrecked his car, and I need a place to stay. Can you help?"
Fully awake and alert, he let Sakura walk in and dragged her to the couch, where he sat beside her. She sniffled, and looked up at him. He couldn't help thinking how many times he'd done this before. Twelve? Seventeen? He couldn't remember the exact number. He'd seen this tear-stained, broken-hearted face before.
Well, I've seen your boyfriend and I don't think he treats you right...
But that's none of my business is it?
I'm not the way you think I am, no...
I'm not the way you think I am, no...
"I can't believe it…He said he loved me…we were going to get married…but then Ino…and Naruto told me…And then I just went up to the car…"
Gaara felt a twinge of guilt. He'd been the one to tell Sakura to say yes to Sasuke. He'd been the one to tell Naruto what Sasuke was doing. He'd been the one to do everything he could since they were kids to give her the best, to make sure she was always happy.
The only girl who ever gave me the time was the
One who only wanted five minutes of mine.
Knocking boots in the back, how degrading
Is that? I decline.
She sniffled again. He wrapped his arm around her and pulled her into a hug. He'd always done that before, whenever she broke up with a guy or they broke up with her. She hiccupped, and began drifting off to sleep.
I'm so terrified and would you mind if I sat
Next to you and watched you smile?
So many kids but I only see you
And I don't think you notice me, well,
"Saki-chan?"
"Hmm?"
Gaara stopped. Should he tell her? Was it the right time to tell her?
I've seen your boyfriend and I don't think he treats you right...
But that's none of my business is it?
I'm not the way you think I am, no...
I'm not the way you think I am, no...
"He doesn't deserve a girl like you."
She looked up at him, half-asleep.
"Really?"
I'm not the way you think I am, no...
I'm not the way you think I am, no...
"You deserve better."
I'm not the way you think I am, no... (NO, NO, NO, NO)
I'm not the way you think I am, no... (NO, NO, NO, NO)
I'm not the way you think I am, no...
I'm not the way you think I am, girl, girl.
