Second Option
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't wanna be your second option
I don't wanna be your after thought
I don't wanna know the plans you make
If they're not with me then call 'em off
If they're not with me then call 'em off
I've been alone on Sunday, baby
I've been alone on a Monday
I've been alone too many days baby
Don't you ever doubt it
When I can learn to live without it
I'll be gone
Gone
I don't wanna know where you'll be going
I don't wanna see what clothes you wear
I don't wanna hear the full you make
If it's not for me then I don't care
I don't care
I've been alone on Sunday, baby
I've been alone on a Monday
I've been alone too many days baby
Don't you ever doubt it
When I can learn to live without it
I'll be gone
Gone
Gone
The leaves on the trees are lonely
The stars wanna shine
If you don't care let go of me
Too cruel to be kind
Cruel to be kind
I don't wanna hang on your pretty hook
I don't wanna wait another day
I'm the biggest fish in your shallow water
Always be the one who got away
Got away
I've been alone on Sunday, baby
I've been alone on a Monday
I've been alone too many days baby
Don't you ever doubt it
When I can learn to live without it
I'll be gone
Gone
Gone
I've been alone on Sunday, baby
I've been alone on a Monday
