You probably think that you are better now, better now

That's exactly what zach knew corbyn was thinking about; that he's better now

You only say that 'cause I'm not around, not around

that's the sad part about this situation; corbyn was only saying that because his ex-lover isn't around anymore

You know I never meant to let you down, let you down

zach done knew he fucked up right after it happened. right after that so-called fan, kissed zach and spread the picture all over social media

Woulda gave you anything, woulda gave you everything

corbyn and zach gave each other the world and the whole universe surrounding it. but, that wasn't enough after what happened.

I did not believe that it would end, no
Everything came second to the Benzo
You're not even speaking to my friends, no

corbyn wasn't talking to any of the other why don't we members, either.
after the harsh breakup he blocked everyone out. at the studio recording, he would stay in his own little corner and wouldn't talk to anyone else.

Twenty candles, blow 'em out and open your eyes
We were looking forward to the rest of our lives

fast forward a about two and a half months since the incident. corbyn would beturning 20 soon.
zach couldn't wait for him and corbyn to grow old together, get married and adopt a few children, but now, all of those plans were tossed out the window just because of that stupid picture and corbyn's overdramatic words.

Used to keep my picture posted by your bedside
Now it's in your dresser with the socks you don't like

That's a true statement. it's as if zach would have wrote it himself. corbyn in fact has a drawer in his dresser with a bunch of socks, boxers, bandannas and other clothing articles that he doesn't like; and matter of fact, never has.

Drinkin' Henny and I'm tryna forget
But I can't get this shit outta my head
You probably think that you are better now, better now

nowadays zach isn't the same. he's leaving his family's apartment every night to "go out with friends" or "to go see a movie" and even the occasional "mom, i'll be home later. i just need some time to myself so im just gonna go drive around for a bit" but he always ended up coming home wasted, in attempts to try and forget everything, but he could never get the tall stylish faux-blonde boy to leave his head.

I seen you with your other dude
He seemed like he was pretty cool
I was so broken over you
Life it goes on, what can you do?

one night zach was at a local small diner. in fact it was the diner where him and corbyn had their first date at. corbyn seen him sitting with another man, smiling laughing, and holding hands above the table... just like they used to do. but now, corbyn didn't even acknowledge him. not even when zach walked right by their table and made direct eye contact with corbyn.

I promise
I swear to you I'll be okay
You're only the love of my life

no matter how much corbyn hates to admit it to himself, zach is, and always will be 'the only one' that has his heart at his fingertips completely.
and zach won't ever forget what happened, but he is totally lovesick for corbyn, and everyone knows.

You probably think that you are better now, better now
You only say that 'cause I'm not around, not around
You know I never meant to let you down, let you down
Woulda gave you anything, woulda gave you everything
