As I lie between the sheets
With you on me,
In me,
In the midst of ecstasy
I see,
The reason we could never be.
She.
She was your best friend
There when in need.
The first you’d turn to,
She bore your seed.
She.
Mother of your child,
I can’t compete.
Not in the race to face defeat.
She.
She has won
And I haven’t even begun.
Two steps ahead
And me two behind
Less of a woman in my mind,
In my mind she’ll always be your lady,
In my mind you’ll always be her man.
Faced with that concept my eyes swell,
With tears of regret and anger as well
Because that love is a love that sets the fires in hell.
But we,
We could never be
Because she.
Even though she,
Had a man on the low,
She still holds your heart
Low key
And I know she’s the mother of your kid
But sweetie
What about me
And then I realize that she
Even though she was,
She still is
Your first lover
And you love her
More than you ever could me
And see me,
I need to find that same love and stick with it because me
I can’t see me
Always being second best.
