• I look into your eyes to find that I’ve lost my voice,
    My heart breaks as I realize that for you I am second best
    I hoped in my heart that you’d choose me when you made your choice
    But although I am second I am no better than the rest.

    I closed my eyes and thought I could see where your heart lies,
    I thought you trusted and loved me, but I guess it was a mistake,
    I’ve never felt so much pain in such a bittersweet goodbye,
    You had me fooled into sleep, but now I am awake.

    And although I cry with my heart and soul my face feels no tears,
    The light from my life is gone as you leave me for that fool,
    You were my courage in a world that was full of fears,
    And now I see what that to you all I was is a tool.

    My heart aches for a place you said was his,
    You made your choice and now I’ll make mine,
    I’ll smile my sad smile until my heart beat goes amiss,
    My heart will darken and fade, as I watch yours shine.
