The Story of Us

I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us 

How we met and the sparks flew instantly 

And people would say they're the lucky ones

I still remember the day we first met. It was at a signing in London, I was there with three of my best friends. We were so excited to finally meet you personally after watching you pursuing your career on a computer screen. As we arrived at the shopping center where the signing would be held there was already a huge line in front of us. But we got in line and waited three hours to finally stand in front of you. I still remember exactly that when you first laid your eyes on me I saw your face light up.

“Hey there, babe” you said and I was blushing. “Hey” I answered shyly. You all signed our CD's and than the moment was over.

“Oh my god Niall definitely fancied you. Did you see that smile on his face when he saw you ?” my friend Caitlin said. “I bet he always does that to make the fans happy.” I said as I couldn't believe they saw it as well. I thought I imagined it.

It was getting less crowded but we were still standing there because we were hoping to see your pretty faces again. As there were only two girls left in the line I saw you standing up as soon as you signed their things. I saw you come walking towards me and my friends. My friends saw that too and went over to a bench to give us some privacy.

“Hey I've seen you earlier at the signing and you looked really nice so I just wanted to ask if you would give me your number ?” you asked nervously.

I used to know my place was the spot next to you 

Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat 

Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on

Now I am standing here in your dressing room at the boys and your concert in London because Harry invited me to come. I really missed the boys and you. We have not talked to each other since our breakup and you are ignoring me since I entered the room. I don't really know what to do so I am just standing here awkwardly.

Oh, a simple complication, miscommunications lead to fall out 

So many things that I wish you knew 

So many walls up I can't break through

I still remember our biggest fight that lead to us breaking up. We actually fought a lot in our relationship but it was always over little things and we always made up quickly after wards. But our biggest fight was nothing like that.

You just came back from America and I told you that I couldn't stand you seeing new beautiful girls every and I was scared that you would leave me for one of them. You got all angry and thought I wanted you to quit the band and you said you wouldn't do it because music was your passion. You said you couldn't do it even if that was meaning breaking up with me. You packed your things and left the flat. I couldn't tell you that I actually didn't want you to quit the band, I wanted to quit my job to go on tour with you for a while so I wouldn't have to miss you.

I wish I could have told you that.

Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room 

And we're not speaking 

And I'm dying to know 

Is it killing you like its killing me, yeah 

I don't know what to say since the twist of fate when it all broke down 

And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now

I was talking to Harry but than he had to go because he had to get ready. Now I am standing here alone because all the boys are busy getting ready. You too. I am watching as you get your hair done by Lou and it is killing me that we didn't even greet us like normal people would do.

How'd we end up this way 

See me nervously pulling at my clothes and trying to look busy 

And you're doing your best to avoid me 

I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us 

How I was losing my mind when I saw you here 

But you held your pride like you should've held me 

Oh, I'm scared to see the ending, why are we pretending this is nothing 

I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how 

I've never heard silence quite this loud 

I still can't believe you have never let me explain myself and that we broke up because of this stupid fight. I tuck my shirt back in to look busy but I keep staring at you. I see that you never look at me and it drives me crazy that you don't seem to notice me.

I am suddenly scared the end of our relationship did not just end our friendship but also my friendship with the others boy because I couldn't stand to be with them if you are there every time too.

I want to go over to you and tell you that I need you in my life so badly but I don't do it because I don't know how.

And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
