Fallback Girl

(Verse 1)

I was there when your world fell down

Middle of the night, I’d drive across town

Told all my friends, “He’s just not ready”

But I held on like love was steady

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)

You’d say things just vague enough

To keep my heart hangin’ on that bluff

And I wanted signs, but I settled for sparks

While you just needed someone in the dark

⸻

(🎯 Chorus – catchy + gut-punch)

I made you my person

You just made me your backup plan

I saved you a seat in my someday

You just saved my texts when you were lonely again

I thought we were something

You thought I was safe to stand

I gave you heart-level everything

You gave what you could with half a hand

I made you my person…

You just made me your backup plan

⸻

(Verse 2)

I skipped dates ‘cause I thought you’d call

Stood by, while you built a wall

You said, “Don’t rush it, let’s not label”

But I was layin’ love on the table

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)

You needed me when the lights went out

But never when the crowd was ‘round

I deserved someone who’d choose me too

But all I ever chose… was you

⸻

(🎯 Chorus – repeat, hits harder)

I made you my person

You just made me your backup plan

I cleared out drawers for a maybe

You kept me hidden like a secondhand

I thought we were solid

You thought I’d just understand

I gave you ride-or-die devotion

You gave me a seat in the stands

I made you my person…

You just made me your backup plan

⸻

(Bridge – quiet, aching)

And I still wish you wanted more

But I’m done waiting by that door

⸻

(Final Chorus – shift to empowered)

I made you my person

But I won’t be your fallback girl

I’m done being the in-between

While you chase half of the world

I gave you everything

You gave me your “if this doesn’t pan”

So I’m letting go of what never began

‘Cause I made you my person…

But I’m not your backup plan
