From the recording Never Your First Choice
Lyrics
I Was Your Everything
I stayed late
You stayed unsure
I gave more
You weren’t sure
I knew you
Inside out
You knew me
When it counted
I gave you
Everything
I was your everything
Your late-night call
Your safety net
Your after all
I was your everything
I held you close
But I was never
Your first choice
I showed up
You stood still
I bent myself
To fit your will
I fought hard
You felt fine
I crossed lines
You drew mine
I see it
Now
I was your everything
Your late-night call
Your safety net
Your after all
I was your everything
I held you close
But I was never
Your first choice
I won’t fade
To feel enough
I won’t stay
Second love
I gave you me
That was real
You lost the one
Who made you feel
I was your everything
Your late-night call
Your safety net
Your after all
I was your everything
I held you close
But I was never
Your first choice
I was your everything
I gave it all
I held you up
I took the fall
I was your everything
I know my worth
I was your everything
You chose me last
