What am I to you?
Am I first, or am I last?
Do I lay in the shadow that she casts?
If only I knew the things that you do.
What kind of love do you give?
Where I am just a default?
Do you come to me only when she isn't free?
If only I could live the life she lives.
What secrets do you leave for me?
Does she already know?
Do I sit and wait for the final blow?
If only she knew last, and first would I be.
What kind of friend are you?
Where I am always the one who knows nothing?
Do you expect me to be the one who does everything?
If only I could understand the things you do.
What kind of things do you expect?
Whee I am always to give myself to you?
So you really expect me to see that through?
If only you were the one who gave respect.
Is what we have even real?
Or is this relationship one-sided?
Where none of the rules are to be abided?
If only you could see that the love" you have for me,
Is nothing but make believe.
