Lyrics
I keep passing through
The fork in the road where you turned
And I stayed the course
'Cause somebody new has been licking your wounds
And I'm left to consider the source
If anything I'm settling when good enough is better than goodbye
I just need a reason to leave the light on
But by the way that you whisper I know that you're already gone
I wish I could see you without seeing through you every time
I just want to be more than somebody's second in line
You headed upstate
Or so I believed when you promised
To call when you're there
I took the bait while you took your date to a rooftop in the city we shared
See I don't need apologies, there's always longer legs and bluer eyes
I just need a reason to leave the light on
But by the way that you whisper I know that you're already gone
I wish I could see you without seeing through you every time
I just want to be more than somebody's second in line
You always left me feeling like a casual crush that wasn't meant to be
Well if that's the best you've got to give I'm confident it's better them than me
I just need a reason to leave the light on
But by the way that you whisper I know that you're already gone
I hate that you see me stuck here believing we would have been fine
I just want to be more than somebody's second in line
