It was so frustrating! Zayn was handling yet another tantrum by none other than Perrie. He gave her everything! Did he not see that? I started singing softly. What my emotions were like now.
You’re on the phone with your girlfriend, she’s upset She’s going off about something that you said.
I can hear him on the phone with her. From my own room I heard her screaming and Zayn pleading to try and calm her. She was yelling at him because of a joke that he told her! It was remarkable. I have never seen such a small woman scream so much.
‘Cause she doesn’t get your humour like I do
I’m in the room, it’s a typical Tuesday night I’m listening to the kind of music she doesn’t like and she’ll never know your story like I do
She will never understand him like I do. I know when he is upset. What makes him laugh. I lay down on my bed thinking about us.
But she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts She’s Cheer Captain and I’m on the bleachers Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find That what you’re looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I’m the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can’t you see? You, you belong with me, you belong with me
Why can’t he see that I’m the one he is supposed to be with? Why can’t he see the smile that he creates on my face. I hear Zayn yelling back. Silent tears stream down my face.
Walking the streets with you and your worn-out jeans I can’t help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself Hey, isn’t this easy?
I remember when we went to get Starbucks. Laughing the whole way there. We were joking about what tattoo he would get next and I was jokingly teasing him saying my name, he laughed and replied with a you wish. And we were play fighting and laughing.
And you’ve got a smile that could light up this whole town I haven’t seen it in a while since she brought you down You say you’re fine, I know you better than that Hey, what ya doing with a girl like that?
I never really understood why he was with her. I never understood what he saw in her.
She wears high heels, I wear sneakers She’s Cheer Captain and I’m on the bleachers dreaming about the day when you wake up and find that what you’re looking for has been here the whole time
They were so different. You never saw two more different people. He was perfect, he takes jokes, and he can be sensitive but strong. He will stand up for what he believes him except when he gets really upset like that time when he wanted to leave the band and I told him no. she was high maintnence, she like everything her way, she was expensive.
If you could see that I’m the one who understands you been here all along, so why can’t you see? You belong with me
Why can’t he see that I am the one he is supposed to be with? ‘You know what? Stuff you Perrie!’ I hear Zayn yell. There is a loud bang and I assume he threw his phone.
Standing by and waiting at your back door all this time how could you not know? Baby, you belong with me, you belong with me
Oh, I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night I’m the one who makes you laugh when you know you’re ‘bout to cry And I know your favourite songs and you tell me ‘bout your dreams Think I know where you belong, think I know it’s with me
I hear shuffles and Zayn opening the door. He walks in and sits down next to me. He doesn’t talk and I make no move to stop singing.
Can’t you see that I’m the one who understands you? Been here all along, so why can’t you see? You belong with me standing by and waiting at your back door all this time, how could you not know? Baby, you belong with me, you belong with me
I sing softly. I turn to look at him and his perfection.
You belong with me Have you ever thought just maybe you belong with me? You belong with me
he sings the last few lines and leans in. ‘I never should have been with her, I see now, I see I am supposed to be with you’ he whispers. I smile and lean in. ‘thanks for waiting lou’ ‘it was my pleasure’ I smile back at him.
