I’m not your first choice
But I’m okay with that
Maybe your third choice
Or not even that
Fourth, fifth, six, seven, eight
Who knows how many calls you make
Hey there’s so much I wish I could say to you
But I know you won’t listen
Now, if you’d stop talking about yourself
You’d see what you were missing
If you’d only look a little closer
Perhaps you’d see there’s more to most of us than looks and popularity
There’s definitely more to me
I’m not your first choice
But I’m okay with that
Maybe your third choice
Or not even that
Fourth, fifth, six, seven, eight
Who knows how many calls you make
Hey every time that I’m with you
I know there’s someone else on your mind
Now I think it’s time that I move on and leave you behind
‘Cause I don’t want to do it all your way
And I’d just like to say that I won’t let you use me when you need me
Then forget me completely
I’m not your first choice
But I’m not okay with that
Not your third choice
No one should live like that
Fourth, fifth, six, seven, eight
Who knows how many calls you make
After all this time I finally see what’s going on
The way that you use people is just wrong
I don’t want to be some piece in your game
I’m tired of how you play
I’m someone’s first choice
Are you okay with that?
Not their third choice
‘Cause I’m worth more than that
No fourth, fifth, six, seven, eight
I won’t have to sit and wait
I’m not your first choice x3
You’re not my first choice
