Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I’ve loved like a flood in a teacup
Spilling over every side
Watched them smile while they took it
Then drift off with the tide
I’m tired of learning the hard way
How it feels to come in last
Waiting quiet in the doorway
While their gaze moves past
[Chorus]
I just want a safe place to land
Someone who can hold all I am
Read the tremble in my voice
Still say
“You’re my first choice”
I don’t want a maybe or guess
I want a love that stands the test
Someone who understands my heart
And never makes me feel second best
[Verse 2]
I give more than I know how to measure
Little things that no one sees
Saving seats and birthday letters
All that empty space in me
I’m scared of being too gentle
Like I’m made of thinner glass
Will you stay when it gets heavy
When the days all drag
[Chorus]
I just want a safe place to land
Someone who can hold all I am
Read the tremble in my voice
Still say
“You’re my first choice”
I don’t want a maybe or guess
I want a love that stands the test
Someone who understands my heart
And never makes me feel second best
[Bridge]
If I hand you every fragile part
Every scar I tried to hide
Will you keep them in your quiet hands
Sit with me through every tide
I don’t need perfect
I need present
I don’t need promise
I need proof
That when I give you all this endless love
You’ve got room
[Chorus]
I just want a safe place to land
Someone who can hold all I am
Read the tremble in my voice
Still say
“You’re my first choice” (my first choice)
I don’t want a maybe or guess
I want a love that stands the test
Someone who understands my heart
And never lets me feel
Never lets me feel
Second best
