phases is easily one of their best songs to date. its beyond mature their past and will forever be one of the most meaningful songs I’ve ever heard so, I decided to write a little something inspired by it! I apologize if it’s kind of all over the place!
Yeah, I’m really tired of being soft-spoken
You got me broken, writing songs about you daily and it’s messing with my focus
It’s been year to say the least. You had just gone through one of the worst breakups in your life. Finding out your now ex-boyfriend had cheated hurt like hell. Your whole world revolved around him. He was your everything, your day in, day out, the kind of boy you tried so hard to love. Zion was never fond of the guy, in fact, had always been insanely jealous. He knew what you didn’t. You two grew up together, and had been best friends through it all. He stayed beside you when things went grey, held you when things got rough, and was always the one you’d go to when you needed someone the most. Zion was your person, the person who had always been there for you when he couldn’t.
You fuck with him, but we both realize that he was bogus
I’m the one for you, so why do I feel like I go unnoticed
Zion knew you had it rough, he knew he was always on your mind and tried his best to keep your focus on anything else but him. He had a whole day planned for the two of you, a night full of adventure and new memories, hoping to tell you everything he’d been keeping in. ‘I’ll be over in 10 to pick you up’, your phone read. Your head was spinning and in absolutely no place ready to go out. Sure you had your good nights and bad but tonight was different. Tonight was inevitably hard. The only thing on your mind was the fact it would have been your one year anniversary. A knock was heard at the door but, being the reality you hadn’t left your bed all day and your eyes were filled with tears, you let it pass over you.
I’m talking more than clothes hittin’ floors
I’m falling off track, but not the rack like a chore
Oh, look, another butterfly, I feel it in my core
‘Y/N??’ Zion yelled. ‘You ready to go?’ he questioned, a confused look plastered on his face when he got no reply. ‘where is she?’ he asked himself, following the sound of sniffling coming from your bedroom. He opened the door, only to be met with your fragile figure, wrapped up in the blankets of your bed, surrounded by tissues scattered throughout the floor. ‘mamas, what’s wrong?’ he whispered, hurriedly running to your side, pulling you into his chest, and held you close. ‘it’s all going to be alright ma, I promise but, please, you have to tell what has you so upset’ he mumbled. ‘Z, I’m so sorry’, you let out between sobs, ‘I know you had a whole day planned for us, I feel horrible but I-’ you cried into his chest. ‘shh babygirl its going to be alright. what did he do? I swear I-’ he started, but you quickly cut him off. ‘he didn’t do anything Zion’, you breathed out. ‘it’s jus-’ ‘it’s just today would have been our one year and I can’t get him off my mind.’ Zion sighed, knowing all to well the effect he had on you. ‘mamas, you have to realize that you deserve better, so much better. A guy who can treat you like the absolute catch you are, not like the asshole who fucked you over.’
Even though you ain’t mine, it’s the fact that I’m yours
It’s the fact that my life ain’t comeplete without yours
‘Z-’ you muttered. ‘wh- what do you mean?’ ‘Y/N what I mean is, I’ve been here the whole time. I’ve stood back when I knew you couldn’t handle the worse. I’ve seen it all Y/N. I’ve seen through all of his lies.’ he whispered. ‘Fuck, I’ve been here when he couldn’t’ He mumbled under his breath.
It’s the fact that at night I be tryna ignore
Catching overseas flights just to knock on your door
You were speechless, completely taken aback by his words. How could you have wasted all these years wondering, wondering if he could have ever felt the same? All these years and you had pushed away your feelings for him because you had yourself convinced you could never be good enough for him. ‘Z, I-’ you began, ‘Y/N, I get it. I get that you could never see me as anything more than your best friend but-’, you quickly interrupted by crashing your lips onto his.
‘Cause you put my planet in orbit
Stargirl, your body’s so solar
Promise you, baby, I’m sober
All these years, years that you’d only have had eyes for each other, entirely in one kiss. One kiss you could have thought would ever happen. One kiss filled with so much pain, so much love, and so much emotion.
Just wait ‘til you give in and finally come over
I can’t wait to tell you, “I told ya, I told ya, I told ya”
‘I’ve seen you Zion. I’ve tried. I’ve tried so hard to love someone I didn’t, someone who wasn’t you.’
