Why do I feel this way?
All alone and dying in pain.
I’m feeling like I don’t belong here,
a second place you make me feel.

Through all you say and do,
I still think you are confused.
Wanting to know what’s in your heart,
I pound and wonder if you are mine.

Sometimes our love seems clear,
like nothing could come between us, dear.
But you have someone in your life
and when she’s around I’m left behind.

I ask myself if I deserve this,
being left here like nothing.
I’m hidden from everyone in your life,
nothing has changed since the first time.

I don’t want to feel this way,
I don’t want to be a second place.
I need to be the first one in your heart
and the one you talk about with everyone.

Is this feeling I have wrong or right?
Am I making things up in my mind?
I just don’t know what to say or do
when you leave me here so confused.
