Nobody Ever Will

Slammed the door
Don't know what I wait on you for
What else should I expect
Fire always burns out fast when you don't take it slow
Just don't tell me what I secretly know

I am anything you make me
But I'm the one piecing myself back together cause you break me
A thousand seconds, a thousand tears
Somebody tell me why I'm still here

Please don't tell me what I secretly know
I'm just your second best girl
Poster child of the heartbreak show
I'm your late night call girl
You know it
Pick up the phone
Ring me and I answer
At your command I'm on demand
Doesn't matter what I feel inside
I never have to heart to hang up
Please don't tell me what I secretly know
I'm just your second best girl
Poster child of the heartbreak show
I'm your late night call girl
You know it 

I wish I could be your full time girl
With no stop and go
If I had my way 
I'd say the sun shall never set on our day
Cause we'd always be go
The things that never could be 
Those are the things that should be

Please don't tell me what I secretly know
I'll never be the one
You don't love me 
You just want fun
Please don't tell me what I secretly know
Cause if the words never come from your lips I've got hope 
That one day I'll be wrong
You're my last hope
If I can't get you to love me
Nobody ever will
And nobody ever will love you like I do
Out in the open, it's all true

Please don't tell me what I secretly know
I'm just your second best girl
Poster child of the heartbreak show
I'm your late night call girl
You know it

wonderful, touching, heart breaking, terminal outcry of anxiety, he doesn't desire the loyalty he's getting, don't let yourself be used so..if you don't care about you well...beside all this..."I never have the heart to hang up" is I think what you meant. Light and Love Poetess
