You’re my lost case
I thought I can win you over
But she’s your first
And I come second
Case closed

I’m your settlement
Your satisfactory prize
The book on the shelf
Just in case you need
But never really read

She has your heart, and you have mine
I demand to take it back
Mail it to me, with all the love I gave
The love I shouldn’t have given you

I once said you deserve all what I’m giving you
And you agreed
We were both wrong
You deserve her
Because that’s what you want
You want to hang on to her like a monkey on a tree
No matter how shaky the tree is
You know the tree will always be there
Even if it doesn’t love you back
She doesn’t love you back

You’re just a little side dish
She’ll have bits of you when she’s bored
But you love it
You love being the leftovers
You love hurting yourself

I am not like you
I refuse to be the leftovers
The settlement
The abandoned book
The monkey
The side dish
The unloved but still there

I refuse to give all my love away
And get heartache in return

So go ahead, hang on to her
Love someone that will always choose you last
Not even second

Go ahead and break your heart again
I’d rather keep mine with me.
