Choices

How can you say you care about me?
How can you tell me I matter?
When you're in love with someone else
and just keep me hanging round?

    I'm not the one you call up,
    I'm not the one you take out.
    I'm just the one who helps waste time
    When she can't be found.

I'm not your first choice,
(Probably not even second)
But when there is no choice,
For now, I'll do fine.

     And just when I think I'm beyond you
     'Cause you left me alone for awhile,
     That's when you act different again
     And keep me hanging on the line.

It's not your fault.
Maybe it's mine.
I let you get away with this
and keep coming back for more.

     But I just keep thinking
     That maybe this time
     You'll stay with me.
     Don't walk out that door.
