Second Choice

I walk outside, it's cold
It's dark but it's not night
So we're there, people everywhere
And they talk, not a care, we're still silent
I don't know what to say,
I can't hold your hand, touch you again

And we fight, and we break up
Then we talk and we make up, make up, make up

I never wanted to come in second place
I never wanted to get caught in a race
Against the clock, waiting for a knock
A knock that never came
I never wanted to be your second choice
Please just listen one more time to my voice
There's no need to pretend, I'll be here till the end
I just need you to tell me when

So let's say
I'll talk, tell you it's all okay, and then you say
You'll forgive me, for all my sins, count this a win
But if I'm so hard to be around, you can't stand me always put me down
All I want is to walk away, but of course I'll stay, everything's okay

And we fight, and we break up
Then we talk and we make up, make up, make up

I never wanted to come in second place
I never wanted to get caught in a race
Against the clock, waiting for a knock
A knock that never came
I never wanted to be your second choice
Please just listen one more time to my voice
There's no need to pretend, I'll be here till the end
I just need you to tell me when

I walk away, it's okay
You can't break me again
But that's too good
Just a fantasy, no happy ending

And we fight, and we break up
Then we talk and we make up six times
And again you say you'll love me until the end
Then you put back on that ring
And remind me it was just a summer thing
