Verse 1
I light their skies when the night turns cold
I’m the story no one ever told
I’m the call they make when they can’t stand alone
But when I’m breaking, I’m on my own
Pre-Chorus
Every time, I’m the second choice
The fading echo, the quiet voice
I carry hearts that never see
How heavy it feels to be me
Chorus
I’m always the option, never the need
I water their roots while I still bleed
Always the hand when they’re falling through
But no one’s there when I need it too
I’m left out in the love I chase
A shadow watching from its place
I give my all, but I can’t compete
Who’s ever there for me?
Verse 2
They love my warmth, but never stay
I’m the shelter, they walk away
I pour my soul into their cracks
But no one ever gives it back
Pre-Chorus
Every tear, I hide inside
Every hope, I’ve watched it die
Always there, but never seen
Living outside of someone’s dream
Chorus
I’m always the option, never the need
I water their roots while I still bleed
Always the hand when they’re falling through
But no one’s there when I need it too
I’m left out in the love I chase
A shadow watching from its place
I give my all, but I can’t compete
Who’s ever there for me?
Bridge
And my heart keeps breaking silently
I love too much, but it’s killing me
All I wanted was to be enough
Not just the ghost of someone’s trust
Final Chorus
I’m always the option, never the need
I water their roots while I still bleed
Always the hand when they’re falling through
But no one’s there when I need it too
I’m heartbroken, but they can’t see
How lonely love has left of me
Always enough for everyone’s plea
But who’s ever there for me?
