[Verse 1]
I gave you my soul, I gave you my breath,
Even swore I’d love you ‘til my death.
Built a future in the corners of my mind,
But you left me there, left me blind.
Pictures of you, tangled in her arms,
While I was bleeding to keep you from harm.
Defending her while I stand alone,
I was your shelter, but never your home.
---
[Pre-Chorus]
I was ready to die just to keep you alive,
But you kept me waiting while someone else thrived.
My heart was an ocean, you sailed through with ease,
But you never once drowned in the love I released.
---
[Chorus]
I’m always the third wheel, never the one,
A shadow that fades when the morning comes.
You chose her love while I broke apart,
I was your option, never your heart.
So I’ll walk away, won’t stand in between,
Two lovers colliding, while I’m just unseen.
I’ll let you go, though it shatters me still…
Always the third wheel.
---
[Verse 2]
I wrote your name in every prayer I cried,
But my loyalty was something you denied.
Every dream I had, you tore at the seams,
Defending your ex while I lived in dreams.
I was the fire you let burn out,
Silent devotion you never cared about.
I was the one who would’ve given my life,
But she gets your laughter, I get the knife.
---
[Pre-Chorus]
I was ready to fall just to see you fly,
But you clipped my wings with another goodbye.
I was your secret, your safety, your lie,
But never the reason you chose to try.
---
[Chorus]
I’m always the third wheel, never the one,
A shadow that fades when the morning comes.
You chose her love while I broke apart,
I was your option, never your heart.
So I’ll walk away, won’t stand in between,
Two lovers colliding, while I’m just unseen.
I’ll let you go, though it shatters me still…
Always the third wheel.
---
[Bridge]
If love was a war, I fought every fight,
But you surrendered my name in the night.
I’d have died for you—oh, don’t you see?
But you buried my worth with her memory.
---
[Final Chorus/Outro]
I’m always the third wheel, forever denied,
A ghost in the corner, where love goes to hide.
You chose her hand while I lost my soul,
I was your half, but you’ll never be whole.
So I’ll walk away, though it breaks me to feel…
I was never your love—
Just the third wheel.
