Lyrics

You reached out for help
I just grazed your hand
And you thought i was someone worth worshipping
I don't belong here
But your eyes are shining and
I can't bring myself to leave
And you will eventually leave
Even if you don't realise it yet
It has happened time and time before
So i will deny you're my best friend
Cause im only a choice
When im the only choice
Then you'll tell him about my favourite video game
And text me just to complain
We talk about the complexity
Of interpersonal relationships
Sell cheap propaganda as sacred speech
I don't belong here
But someone has to
So i'll stay till you find someone new
And you will eventually leave
I know you're starting to realise
Without the novelty and idealisation
You've got better things to do with your time
Cause im only a choice
When im the only choice
Now you tell him about my favourite video game
And text me just to complain
I'm a blueprint, i'm a standard
I'm a therapist, i'm a stand up comedian
I'm everything you need
And i'm everything you want to be
And it's never really about me, isn't it?
I am someone you trust
And i am a goal post
And i'm always too much
But i'm never enough
Cause im only a choice
When im the only choice
Then you'll say you're ashamed to text me first
And wonder why we're talking less
Cause im only a choice
When im the only choice
Then you'll utter some excuse, say you're misunderstood
To make it again about you
You liked me for what i gave
And you liked that i'm clever
You told me we're distant
And i was about to say something
But thinking about it
Maybe i deserve better
