You play him You lead him on But I know you feel threatened by me For uttering a rude comment about me When I walk by It only makes me smile Because I know you know I never made him cry I only made him smile And I have never broken him The way you did so many times He came to me and said "I want to die" Three minutes later he was laughing I made him forget how you hurt him Because I am the band aid to his pain And if I can never be more than that I will be content with healing the wounds you inflict For as long as he'll have me but I know You are threatened because I am the better choice I am honest and trustworthy and I would never hurt him And though he cannot see How good to him I'd be Because your hands are holding his face In fear he'll turn around and see me I swear I will stand here for as long as needed Until your hands get cramps And your face crumbles to reveal the person you are Your fingers will fall and he'll turn around I will be here to see him move away from you And closer to me
