�It Should've Been Easy� Epilogue: �I Showed Her�
It's catching up to me right now
Everything that I said
The night I left her there
Dan sulked around for months after Rachel left her management position. He kept replaying all their little fights and arguments back in his head. They tortured him. He knew that everything he had yelled at her for was just out of jealousy. He wished there was something he could do to make her come back to him.
When I said I wanted out
I was angry and upset
�Dan,� Trevor said standing in his doorway. �Dan.�
Dan looked up to see Trevor standing there staring at him. �Yeah.�
�I�ve been calling you for almost two minutes,� Trevor walked into the room.
�Oh, sorry,� Dan mumbled not making an attempt to get up from his bed.
Trevor sat down on the foot of his bed and looked at his band mate. �Still thinking about her?�
�How did you know?� Dan asked sarcastically.
�She�s gone. She�s never coming back. There�s nothing left for you to do,� Trevor told him.
�I didn�t mean it, Trev. I didn�t mean anything I said to her. I love her and she�ll never know that,� Dan said miserably.
And at the time I couldn't care
Less about staying there
I had to prove I didn't care
As much as she thought I did
�Then why did you fight with her so much? You knew she liked you and you sure as hell liked her. Why did you make it hard on her and make her read between the lines? Why did you make her choose?� Trevor asked sternly. �Dan, you didn�t love her enough to let her go.�
I showed her
I let my pride take me
Far away from the
Only woman I loved
�It�s not like I meant to hurt her. I hurt too,� Dan shook his head. �Doesn�t anyone care that I got hurt in this too?�
�Yeah, but your pride doesn�t hurt as much as it hurt her,� Trevor made his point loud and clear.
Dan knew he was right. He could never admit that Trevor was right though. His pride wasn�t about to let him do it.
I showed her
And now she has found someone new
And her life will go on
And I'm all alone but
I showed her
�Dan, she has Josh now. Actually she had Josh before but you didn�t realize that he was more important to her until it was too late. You thought that she would choose you over anything, but you were wrong. She didn�t need you. She�s moved on,� Trevor knew his words were hitting Dan where it hurt.
I hear that she's in love
But it took a while for her
To get over the hurt
�If it makes you feel any better, I keep in touch with her. After she left, it was hard on her. She and Josh almost split up because she couldn�t handle the pain that she felt from walking out on you. But Josh kept her strong and helped her through that dark time. Could you have done that, Dan? Could you have helped her to get over someone else that she really loved?� Trevor asked pointedly.
Dan thought about it for a few minutes. �I guess I couldn�t have. She meant so much to me and just knowing that I had won her affections would make my ego inflate. I wouldn�t have been there for her when she needed me.�
Now I know that I messed up
I was trying to give us time
�I guess you learned the hard way,� Trevor said.
�Yeah, I guess I did,� Dan agreed. �I just wanted to give it time to make sure that we could make it work.�
�It didn�t work though,� Trevor stated.
But I see she took that time
To find somebody else
�No, it didn�t. She got Josh and I got nothing out of all that time we wasted.�
What happened to the things she felt
For me, am I really
A part of her past?
�And now I�m just a memory. A bad memory at that,� Dan put his head in his hands.
�No, the two of you had good times. You were friends before you developed feelings for each other. And no one can take away the good memories that the two of you have.�
I showed her
I let my pride take me
Far away from the
Only woman I loved
I showed her
And now she has found someone new
And her life will go on
And I'm all alone but
I showed her
�But she�s still gone,� Dan said quietly.
�She�s still gone,� Trevor echoed.
�I wish she wasn�t,� Dan said.
�There�s nothing left for you to do,� Trevor replied.
Now she has found someone new
And her life will go on
And I'm all alone
I showed her
�She�s moved on. Her life has gone on. You need to let go and move on with your life too,� Trevor tried to give Dan a pep talk.
�But I�m all alone,� Dan said meekly.
�You�re not all alone,� Trevor said. �We�re always here for you and somewhere there�s the right girl for you. You�ll find her someday.�
�Someday soon I hope,� Dan replied.
�Someday very soon,� Trevor smiled. �Hey, I met this really great girl the other day. You�d like her.�
�Why�s that?� Dan asked.
�Because her name is Rachel,� Trevor said trying to lighten the mood.
Dan groaned. �It is not.�
�No, it�s not. I was just messing with you.�
�I miss Rachel,� Dan muttered under his breath.
�Me too,� Trevor replied. �Me too.�
I showed her
