Third Wheel

And so I thought it’s nice to be alone Seemingly loving life on my own Free from a union gone sour There’s no need for tears to pour A newly discovered freedom Free from what’s boring me down No demands, no ties that bind An end to lies that kept me blind And so I thought I found happiness So why is there still this loneliness? Seeing couples having so much fun Around people like me who have no one But what hurts most I can’t deny Is to be with you and feel the lies Sharing laughter when I wanted to cry Seeing you love her through your eyes I was there but not really there A love in the open we cannot share Green with envy my heart bleeds I have feelings, I have needs You said you wanted me around But you can’t show that you’re proud To have her and have me, too Feelings I set aside to follow you In this masquerade I came to know I don’t need this love I tend to borrow It signals the end for all this show That you and I only know.
