Well congratulations!
I yelled to myself in the mirror
I got promoted from side-chick to rebound
all he can think about is her

But what did I expect?
that he'd be happy with just me?
because he's worth not only the fight but the war
happy is all I want him to be

But how am I not enough?
I know it's difficult as hell
thought that I was unwanted
but then I fell

I tripped and saw him
I fell really hard
so what do I do now?
his heart is now scarred

And it seems that I can't do anything
so what am I supposed to do?
when I don't occupy his mind
when I'm nothing new
