I see the shadows in your eyes, they're dancing,
In the corners where your secrets lie.
I try to hold you, but there's something missing,
A whisper of a love gone by.

I feel the distance, the silence growing,
In the moments when you turn away.
I want to be your one and only, yours forever,
But doubt is casting shades of grey.

I don’t want to be your second-hand love,
Not just a heart you're leaning on.
I want to be the fire in your soul,
Not just a light when your flame is gone.
Tell me, am I just a second-hand love?
Or am I the one you've waited for?
I need to know, am I your one and only,
Or just a shadow of a love before?

You say you love me, and I believe you,
But there's a sadness in your smile.
A fleeting memory that haunts your laughter,
A story that you're hiding all the while.

I see the signs, the distant dreaming,
In the quiet when you think I’m not there.
I want to be the one you run to,
But I’m caught in your far-off stare.

I don’t want to be your second-hand love,
Not just a heart you're leaning on.
I want to be the fire in your soul,
Not just a light when your flame is gone.
Tell me, am I just a second-hand love?
Or am I the one you've waited for?
I need to know, am I your one and only,
Or just a shadow of a love before?

Maybe you’re just lost in your own thoughts,
But my heart aches with the doubt.
I need to know if I’m your number one,
Or if I’m just a love you can live without.

I don’t want to be your second-hand love,
Not just a heart you're leaning on.
I want to be the fire in your soul,
Not just a light when your flame is gone.
Tell me, am I just a second-hand love?
Or am I the one you've waited for?
I need to know, am I your one and only,
Or just a shadow of a love before?

So tell me now, where do I stand?
Am I your heart's first choice or just a second-hand?
I need to know before I give it all,
Am I your rise or just a fall?
