• I'm Not Gonna Write You a Love Song

  Dear Friend,
  I would never ask for your love or like or even a passing glance; all I want is for you to distinguish me from all the legions of other girls who must have written you notes like this. And that is all.
  
  
  Sing a song for her tonight,
  And woo a troubled bird to rest;
  I leave you two alone to dance
  And wish you both the very best.
  
  
  Around you,
  I fade into the shadows
  Blend into the wallpaper
  Disappear into the light
  And wish I were somewhere else.
  
  
  I asked you once
  To hold my hand
  My voice had cracked, for I was scared.
  I thought I'd never see the day -
  But you just turned,
  And walked away.
  
  
  I'm your second choice,
  Second chance,
  Second glance.
  Funny, I'm pretty sure
  That I came first.
  
  
  The shadows leap and twirl
  The music swirls
  And you
  Have found yourself
  Another girl.
  
  //b&w//
