Bandaids

**Verse 1**

I’m the patch on your heart, the fix for your night,

Here to mend all your wounds, but I’m losing my light.

You call me when you’re lonely, when no one’s around,

But when the sun starts to rise, I’m nowhere to be found.

**Pre-Chorus**

You take what you need, then you’re gone in a flash,

I’m just a moment, a flicker, a temporary bandage.

I fill up your void, but I’m left in the dark,

While you chase after someone who can truly spark.

**Chorus**

I’m tired of being your second choice,

A whisper in the night, never your voice.

You say I’m the one when you’re feeling low,

But when morning breaks, I’m just a shadow.

With every crack, I’m losing my fight,

No one is forever, not in your sight.

**Verse 2**

You wear your heart like armor, but I’m the one who bleeds,

Picking up the pieces, planting all your seeds.

You think I’m strong enough to bear all your pain,

But I’m drowning in the silence, lost in the rain.

**Pre-Chorus**

You take what you need, then you’re gone in a flash,

A fleeting connection, a bittersweet clash.

I’m just a chapter in your story of love,

A fleeting distraction, not the one you’re dreaming of.

**Chorus**

I’m tired of being your second choice,

A whisper in the night, never your voice.

You say I’m the one when you’re feeling low,

But when morning breaks, I’m just a shadow.

With every crack, I’m losing my fight,

No one is forever, not in your sight.

**Bridge**

So I’ll rise from the ashes, reclaim my own fire,

No more playing the role of your heart’s quiet liar.

I’ll find my own way, break free from your chains,

A warrior of my heart, I’ll dance in the pain.

**Chorus**

I’m done being your second choice,

I’ll find my own light, I’ll find my own voice.

You’ll see me shine bright when you’re feeling low,

No more shadows, I’m ready to grow.

With every crack, I’ll learn how to fight,

No more pretending, I’m claiming my right.

**Outro**

So here’s to the ones who choose to be free,

Not just a bandaid, but who they’re meant to be.

No one is forever, but I’ll be my own flame,

I’ll rise from the ashes, I’ll never be the same.
