Second option

SECOND OPTION Romantic Trap — 140 BPM [Intro] I always thought I was strong... That I controlled my heart... But it was you who showed me That I, too, could lose my footing... [Verse 1] I always thought I was strong, Always thought I controlled my heart, But thanks to you, today I discovered A side of myself I’d never seen before. The situation was heavy, Having to face it without knowing this feeling; I thought you were the one, The owner of my heart. That you would take care of me, That you would help me, That whenever I needed you, You would stay... Until I found out... [Pre-Chorus] That while I was giving you my best, You were already looking in another direction; I called you "love," You treated me like an option... [Chorus] You weren't loyal, And you were brutal with my heart; You used and abused me, Then discarded me For a second option. If you didn't want this anymore, You should have just set me free to go; You didn't need to hold onto me Just to choose When it would be best to leave. [Verse 2] I kept trying to understand Where I went wrong, When everything I gave you Was everything I had ever dreamed of. I didn't want perfection, I just wanted truth between us, But you put off until later What I needed to know. And today I see clearly That loving alone hurts too much; I put you first, But to you, I was left behind. [Pre-Chorus] While I was nurturing our love, You were playing games with the situation; I called you my destiny, You kept me as a second option... [Chorus] You weren't loyal, And you were brutal with my heart; You used and abused me, Then discarded me For a second option. If you didn't want this anymore, You should have just let me go; You didn't need to hold onto me Just so you could choose When it was best to leave. [Bridge] And maybe this pain Came to teach me That someone who truly loves Doesn't need to hurt the other. Today I know a side of myself I never imagined I’d discover, But if I survived your goodbye, I’ll survive you, too. [Final Chorus] You weren't loyal, And you were brutal to my heart; You used and abused me, Then cast me aside For a second choice. If you didn't want this anymore, You should have just let me go... Because losing you hurt, But it would have been worse To go on without choosing myself. [Outro] I always thought I was strong... Today I know I can feel, too. You left me with a scar, But you taught me to choose myself before leaving.
