...

He was my everything. It's been a month since he left me. I can't believe he did this. It was a bad relationship, but I loved him. I feel better, though. It feels good not to have to worry if he's gonna come home tonight, or if I'll have to fetch him out of the side of the street wasted. Or worse, to have to see him in the morning with badly hidden hickeys that aren't from me. It still hurts, though. It hurts so much.

Damn, I heard that you and her been having problems
She likes to fight, I guess you both have that in common
Started at the top and now you at the bottom
But baby, this is none of my business

I see him with his new girl now. They look happy, but I've seen the fights. They're brutal, and I've heard she always starts them. But hey, he can do whatever he wants now. I don't care.

You moved on, that a wrong, been a while, baby
So did I (so did I, so did I)
Took her home to your mom
Oh, but trust me that ain't on my mind (on my mind, on my mind, on my mind)

I still miss him, I'm not gonna deny it. But it doesn't hurt. Not really. I've seen the pictures of her with his family, but I can tell the smiles are fake. I know because they look nothing like the ones with me. His family always liked me. I'm with someone else now, though, and he treats me better than I ever thought I could be. I'm so much happier, and it's amazing.

I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I
I saw on my feed
She looks a little like me
I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I
I can't help but see
It's not jealousy, no

I see her when I scroll through Instagram and Snapchat. I can't help but notice her hair color looks eerily similar to mine, as well as her height, eyes and skin tone. I can't help but wonder if he notices that too. They seem happy, but I know the truth. He deserves it. He knows how I felt now. I'm not jealous, I just can't help but see it when it's shoved in my face most of the time.

Damn, I heard that you and her been having problems
She likes to fight, I guess you both have that in common
Started at the top, and now you at the bottom
But baby, this is none of my business
Damn, I heard that you and her been having issues
I wish you the best, I hope that she can fix you
You'll be calling me the second that it hits you
But baby, this is none of my business

I hear it from his friends, from my friends, from everyone that the two of them are falling apart. She has trust issues and he doesn't have the patience for it. But I guess that's few. I hope she can fix what I couldn't: the lies, the fighting, the verbal abuse. I've lost a little weight since we broke up. I also got tanner and grew out my hair. I look hotter, and I know he can see. I'm just waiting for the "I want you back" call. I'm planning what I'm going to say when that day comes.

Does she care? Wear her hair up?
The way that babe you always liked (always liked, always liked)
When you're alone, does she know
All the ways to treat your body right? (right, yeah)

Sometimes, just to see how they react, I'll wear my hair up like I know he likes. I can practically feel the two stares when I do: his of lust, and hers of hatred. I bet she doesn't know what he likes. How he likes it. He used to say I was the best at what I did, I wonder if that's changed? For some reason, I'm betting no.

I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I
I saw on my feed
She looks a little like me
I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I
I can't help but see
It's not jealousy, no
Damn, I heard that you and her been having problems
She likes to fight, I guess you both have that in common
Started at the top, and now you at the bottom
But baby, this is none of my business
Damn, I heard that you and her been having issues
I wish you the best, I hope that she can fix you
You'll be calling me the second that it hits you
But baby, this is none of my business None of my business (no to the no, ah)

Everybody tries to get a reaction out of me by showing me the good and the bad, but honestly, I've become so numb to it. It's like looking at two strangers, one like a character in a dream, and one like a failed clone.

Haven't watched your story in four days
Least not today
'Cause it's none of my business
None of my business

It's been four days since I've looked at any of his socials. That may not seem like much, but I'm proud. It's progress. It means I'm a step closer to fully letting go. A step closer to fully cutting him out. It's like a piece of string that you can't cut because the scissors are dull. It's fraying because you got halfway through but then any other attempts were unsuccessful. All you need is a new pair of scissors to cut it out, but one end is messed up because of it.

Damn, I heard that you and her been having problems
She likes to fight, I guess you both have that in common
Started at the top, and now you at the bottom
But baby, this is none of my business (yeah)
Damn, I heard that you and her been having issues (oh)
I wish you the best, I hope that she can fix you (you, you)
You'll be calling me the second that it hits you
But baby, this is none of my business

I'm brought out of my trance when I hear footsteps walk up. I look away from the arguing couple to look at my boyfriend. "Babe, let's go, don't worry about them." Damn, I've been standing here for fifteen minutes staring at them arguing. I look up at his smiling face and close my locker, an identical one plastered on mine. His arm slips around my waist as we make our way through the doors of the crowded school, the voices of the unhappy couple slowly fading away. Their problems are getting worse but I'm getting better. I drown those thoughts out as I focus on my boyfriend talking about our plans for later. They're toxic for each other, but that's none of my business.
