Second Choice

I entrusted my heart to you
I thought we were renown
you did the same but didn't mind
when it all came crashing down.

Instead you found a different one
with a brighter glow
he's willing to say that he loves you
and I can't get passed hello.

You'll never chose me over him
knowing this, is the worst,
I can't keep being your second choice
when you've always been my first.

I took my love and all I had
and gave it to you to keep
you've been the one of my dreams
but I must be still asleep.

Well put, a common story for many of us. Fortunately we all get more chances.
