I’m the one that picks up every time you call
The one still standing when the whole world falls
I give my heart away like it’s free to take
But somehow mine’s the one nobody saves
I sit in silence staring at my phone
Wondering why I always feel alone
I make space for everybody’s pain
But when I’m hurting, nobody remains
(Pre-Chorus)
And I’m tired of pretending it don’t hurt
Watching everybody else come first
(Chorus)
Why am I always the last one chosen?
The last one heard when my heart is broken
No matter what I do or what I say
Somebody else always takes my place
I give my love till there’s nothing left
Carry the weight sitting on my chest
Feels like I’m invisible in every room
Like everybody matters more than I do
(Verse 2)
I remember nights I stayed awake for them
Talking them down while I was caving in
And every promise slowly fades away
Soon as somebody better comes their way
I hate the feeling of begging to belong
Trying so hard just to hold on
Maybe I care a little too deep
That’s why everybody leaves me empty
(Pre-Chorus)
And I swear I don’t ask for much
Just somebody who won’t forget my love
(Chorus)
Why am I always the last one chosen?
The last one heard when my heart is broken
No matter what I do or what I say
Somebody else always takes my place
I give my love till there’s nothing left
Carry the weight sitting on my chest
Feels like I’m invisible in every room
Like everybody matters more than I do
(Bridge)
Maybe one day I’ll stop chasing people
Who only love me when it’s useful
Maybe one day I’ll finally see
I deserve the love I give so easily
But tonight it’s hard not to break
When I’m everybody’s second place
(Final Chorus)
Why am I always the one forgotten?
The one still hurting while the world keeps moving
I’m screaming out but nobody stays
Everybody leaves when I need them the same
Still I love with my whole heart
Even when it tears me apart
Maybe someday someone will finally prove
That I matter too…
Yeah, I matter too.
