Keep me guessing Keep me waiting because you know you can Take without ever giving Take advantage of me being your biggest supporter and fan

I'm not a supporting character on your show Who only exists when it's convenient for you I'm still here with my own life With my own thoughts and feelings that matter too
I'm not your woman and never will be. I'm just the overqualified warm body that you keep on the sidelines. I'm a place filler that you can use
Questioning if I wasn't enough and wondering why Messing with my mind, playing on every insecurity Finding what I was searching for then stepping back to watch you walk by
Tennyson said it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all but I believe Smokey when he said that sometimes
I don't have a lot to offer I have little more than my hopes and dreams It's hard to believe, but teaching isn't exactly lucrative,
As much as I talk sometimes, my prolonged silence may seem bizarre I'm keeping my feelings to myself so I don't make things more awkward than they are
If I only have one chance, I will try to maximize I don't know how you'll react, I can only hypothesize I can't explain everything I feel for you,
I remember so many times throughout my life I've turned down so many guys I don't think I was ever cruel about it, but at the time I could only empathize
I can tell you have at least a piece of my heart because the further away you are, the more it aches And I can try to hide it from you
Sitting here thinking about you, hoping you're ok, and wishing you were here Maybe I should be out taking advantage since I only get a night to myself a few times a year
I fell so hard and convinced myself that you were "the one," so it's hard to be just your friend I'm torn between backing off and letting go
