I have always
held a second place
In the heart that I love so dear
Waiting oh so long just to see a trace
Or a tiny sign that you care
They say that time will heal a broken heart
And I prayed that you'd love me too
But I just can't play that second part,
only the leading role will do.
You had another love before I came along
How she hurt you, I just don't know
I can't fill the shoes of your other love
So far, say, let me go
They say that time will heal a broken heart
I prayed that you'd love me too
Oh, but I just can't play that second part,
only the leading role will do.
No, I just can't play that second part
Lord knows I've tried not to let it show
Either love me now, take me in your heart,
or for God's sake, let me go.
They say that time will heal a broken heart,
and I pray that you'll love me too.
Oh, but I just can't play that second part,
only the leading role will do.
