I can’t play second fiddle
I ain’t e’en in the band
You sing and play sweet love songs
Traversing o’er this land
We once shared eternity
Now I’m just a second hand
Regardless how I want you
You turn and walk away
I can’t play second fiddle
Can’t be a one-night stand!
I can’t play second fiddle
You’re blind to my tears, my fears
Faithfulness doesn’t matter
Have we wasted those years?
Love unrequited merely fades away
Go on, drown your sorrows in beers
You make me complete; I want you so
But you simply walk away
I can’t play second fiddle
With a torn heart that’s seared
I can’t play second fiddle
Sweetheart, half of me has died
I thought love was everlasting
But our passions have been fried
Everyday you chose to leave me
Bury your love; forget tears that I’ve cried
Love is eternal; together we’re whole
Yet you turn and walk away
I can’t play second fiddle
Everything is in our way
I can’t play second fiddle
We’ve buried love; life’s gone astray!
