Second best to all of your friends,
'Cause you know I'll love you 'til the end.
I am what the others were;
A hopeless fool who's dancing in your blur.
Wrapped around your finger, I do as you say.
It feels like you just linger, but I'm asking you to stay.
Unsure if you can handle this, so you keep your options open.
I pretend I don't notice, so they don't see me choking.
Constant competition with people I've never met.
Offering you a better life in pictures on the internet.
The grass isn't greener on the other side.
But when you've got no grass, even the weeds look nice.
I used to be the wild rose, and you didn't mind my extra thorns.
But now the cold wind blows, my petals fall and I am scorned.
Everyday, I hope you still love me.
In your eyes, is there anyone above me?
Every night, you leave me guessing.
Be honest with me, relieve my stressing.
