tell me how it feels to be the one you want.
tell me that feeling you get when someone really loves you,
or when the person you want actually wants you back.

i want to know what it takes, to keep you
i want to know what else is left of me that i haven't already given to you,
i want to know if there is a part of you that would ever, choose me first.

can't help but to think i was never enough, i was never enough for you to love.
you used words that weren't true to keep me around,
asking how I've "stuck around for so long" yet can't be the one that keeps me close.

as cheesy as it is, the words "pick me, love me, choose me" are the only words repeating in my head,
as i cry myself to sleep another night.

i can't keep being your second choice, when you have been my first.
and that right there is what keeps breaking me.


Song of the day.
