Y/n's View

"I'm like a block away." I say.

Walking down 29th and park

"Maybe hurry up!" Allison says.

I sigh and see Alexa hugging a man.

I saw you in another's arm

"Y/n? You there?" Allison asks.

"I'm on my way." I say.

I hang up and put my phone in my pocket.

Alexa and I broke up last month. She already looks happier.

Only a month we've been apart
You look happier

Alexa and the man walk down the sidewalk together and start laughing.

Saw you walk inside a bar
He said something to make you laugh

I couldn't make her laugh nor smile nearly as much bad him.

I saw that both your smiles were twice as wide as ours
Yeah, you look happier, you do

Shit, the last time I talked to her she was crying and told me she hated me. I forgot it was her birthday and it set her off. She couldn't keep excusing my mistakes.

Ain't nobody hurt you like I hurt you

"It's not even the fact you forgot it was my birthday. It's everything and I can't keep ignoring it!" Alexa says.

"I'm sorry, I'll do better, I promise." I say.

"I just think we should call it quits." Alexa says.

"But I love you—" I say.

But ain't nobody love you like I do

"Yet you never act like it." Alexa says.

What did I expect? Her never never move on? Of course she would.

Promise that I will not take it personal, baby
If you're moving on with someone new

I sigh and continue to walk.

5 minutes later...

"What took you so long? Doesn't matter. Help me—" Allison says shutting the door being me.

I stare at her and she raises an eyebrow.

"What's wrong?" Allison asks.

"I saw Alexa with her new boyfriend. She looks really, really happy." I say.

'Cause baby you look happier, you do

Tears fill my eyes and Allison hugs me.

"It's okay." Allison says rubbing my back.

"One day you'll find someone who makes you smile like that." She says.

My friends told me one day I'll feel it too

"She's that person!" I say.

And until then I'll smile to hide the truth
But I know I was happier with you

"There's other fish in the sea. You'll find the perfect one." She says.

Time Skip

I sit down and turn the TV on.

Sat in the corner of the room

"Deal or no deal?" A voice on the TV says.

"Deal!" The woman says.

"Deal!" The man says.

"You dumbass bitch!" Alexa shouts.

"Baby." I say laughing.

"He has all those cases to open and he took 30 grand when a million is on the table!" Alexa says.

"It's not the serious." I say.

"Oh, but, it is." Alexa says.

Everything's reminding me of you

I wonder if she watches this show with him.

Nursing an empty bottle and telling myself
You're happier, aren't you?

I take my phone out of my pocket and dial a number.

"Hello." Micheal mumbles.

"Can we talk?" I ask.

"It's 11 PM." Micheal says.

"You said I could call you whenever." I say.

"Monday thru Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM!" Micheal says.

"Please?" I ask.

"Fine." Micheal says.

"I know I hurt Alexa but I took her for granted. I never realized how much I needed her to be happy.." I say.

Oh, ain't nobody hurt you like I hurt you
But ain't nobody need you like I do

"And I don't deserve her but I still love her." I say.

I know that there's others that deserve you
But my darling, I am still in love with you

"Did you just randomly start thinking about her?" Micheal asks.

"I saw her with a guy the other day. She looked really happy, happier than ever." I say.

But I guess you look happier, you do

"And I know I will find someone else that makes you happy." I say

My friends told me one day I'll feel it too

"But I don't think someone could ever make me happier than Alexa does." I say.

I could try to smile to hide the truth
But I know I was happier with you

"Micheal?" I ask.

I hear snoring and I sigh. I hang up and out my phone down.

Time Skip

"Y/n?" Someone asks.

I turn around and see Alexa.

"H-Hey." I say.

"How are you?" Alexa asks.

"I'm great. What about you?" I say.

"I am doing amazing." Alexa says.

'Cause baby you look happier, you do

"With the new guy?" I ask.

I knew one day you'd fall for someone new

"You know Max?" Alexa asks.

"No, but I saw you guys the other day. You look really happy with him." I say.

"I'm kinda in a rush but it was nice seeing you." I say.

Alexa smiles and nods.

But if he breaks your heart like lovers do

I walk away and sigh.

Just know that I'll be waiting here for you
