you're the side character who's in love with the main character . . .

❝ fell in love with a guy

who seemed to be the one

tried so hard to impress him

only for him to be gone

it happened suddenly

on an autumn evening

sun was setting

the rays were gleaming

i walked up to his house

his mother opened the door

there were tears in her eyes

i really didn't have to ask much more

she wiped her eyes, told me he was gone

and was never coming back

(oh, never coming back)

i couldn't believe my ears

but for reason, i wasn't surprised

i just hugged his mother and said

when it's dark, you have to wait for the sun to rise

cause i'm, i'm always used to

to being your second choice

you didn't even care to tell me

that you'd never come back

you didn't even care to say goodbye (no, oh)

but that's okay

cause i'm used to being your second choice

the next person i thought of

was my best friend

she was quite close to him, you see

also the source of all my jealousy

i ran all the way to her house

just to tell her the news

but when i had put my ear next to her door

i heard her sobbing, sobbing like you were no more

i guess i should've known

that you would've told her first

you love her, don't you?

and you never loved me, it's true

i opened the door, she told me he was gone

and never coming back

(oh, never coming back)

i couldn't believe my ears

but for reason, i wasn't surprised

i just hugged my friend and said

when it's dark, you have to wait for the sun to rise

cause i'm, i'm always used to

to being your second choice

you didn't even care to tell me

that you'd never come back

you didn't even care to say goodbye (no, oh)

but that's okay

cause i'm used to being your second choice

neglecting my feelings, it was so easy for you

how would you like it if someone did that to you?

maybe i wasn't pretty enough 

or just not as poised 

but that doesn't give you a reason

to not bother to say goodbye

it's okay though, cause i'm used to being your second choice. ❞
