Song:
Believe by Skillet

"How can you leave me? I-I thought we were in love,"  I stutter, worriedly.

"You aren't good for me; I could do so much better."

What? Where is this coming from? She-she loves me. She said it just yesterday, and now she's...

"Is it me? I swear, I'll do anything. I can change for you, just don-"

"I'm sorry," she says without the amount of emotion that I savored from those three other words. She isn't sorry. She's lying. That's it, she's lying! But why? Why would she say these- these lies so soon after she finally says she loves me?

"B-b-but I thought that you-"

"Loved you," the blank-faced girl interjects. "Yes, I thought I did too. But, honestly, I'm better off without you."

"Please. Please don't do this. Tell me you're lying, or playing a prank, anything! Just please don't do this." I feel tears streak down my face, one after the other in rapid succession.

"Don't think about me; it'll only hurt you. I won't be thinking of you."

So it's the truth. She hates me, she thinks I'm bad for her, and she'll never think of me again.

She walks away, and I fall into a pit that I can never arise from.

I'm still trying to figure out
How to tell you I was wrong
I can't fill the emptiness inside
Since you've been gone

"Please, I never meant it! I know I hurt you, and I'm sorry. I wish I could take it away, undo it, but I don't know how. Please, just listen to me," the girl pleads.

It's been months since she left. I've finally gotten over her, and here she is to make me fall in love all over again. But now it's my turn to be cold as stone.

So is it you or is it me
I know I said things that I didn't mean
But you should've known me by now
You should've known me

"Tell me why I should believe you," I reply, my words just as void of emotion as those scarring words that were forever etched into my mind. "Tell me why you really left."

"Because I thought that I wasn't good enough for you. You deserve the best, and I am far from it. If you have ever loved me, believe me now when I say that I did not mean it."

"I believed you when you said you hated me, and that you would never think of me again. I believed when you said you'd be better off without me."

If you believed
When I said
I'd be better off without you
Then you never really knew me at all

"Please," the broken girl begs as I begin to back her out of the door, "don't do this."

"Funny, I said those same exact words when you left me. You may have been lying about being better off without me, but you were right. I'm better off without you."

If you believed
When I said
That I wouldn't be thinking about you
You thought you knew the truth
but you're wrong

She gasps as I grip the door. She's now standing right outside the door under a beautiful, cloudless sky. Maybe she would find that cruel irony, but I think it's fitting.

I close the door in her face, ignoring the weight of her body sliding down it, wracked with sobbing.

You're all that I need
Just tell me that you still believe
