I promise that I will not take it personal, baby

Zak looked at the pictures of them, a single tear running down his face, before throwing them away. He even threw away the expensive frames, because they reminded him of those pictures. He hadn't moved on, but he knew Darryl wasn't trying to hurt him. So he didn't let the older get him down.

If you're moving on with someone new

Even if he was with someone else.

'Cause baby you look happier, you do

It broke his heart picturing the new couple together, but he was glad that Darryl was happy. Even if it wasn't with him.

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

Vincent sighed, then turned to face the broken hearted boy. "Someday you will be with your soulmate, and you will be just as happy as him."

And until then I'll smile to hide the truth

Zak had become depressed, but he didn't tell anyone. He knew they would just tell him that he's weak and he needs to toughen up. Then they would leave him. Just like Darryl had.

But I know I was happier with you

Zak knew he would be fine if he was with Darryl though.

Sat in the corner of the room

Zak sat in the corner of his room, curled up in a ball, crying.

Everything's reminding me of you

Zak got up to go get a drink, but broke down when he saw the doorway. The doorway where they had first made out.

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

Zak laid down while clutching a bottle of beer, trying to go to sleep. But what finally made Zak fall asleep was thinking that at least Darryl was happier.
