Secondhand
Lost in Secondhand Love: A Tale of Desire and Disguise
Lyrics
I'm a fool to want you, a fool to waste my time
Feeling foolish for desiring someone and investing time in them
But I'm lost without you, since you walked my line
Feeling directionless or incomplete since the person left
A kiss and rents due, I’m trying to disguise
Trying to mask or hide the need for affection and the obligation to pay rent
All that I lose, when I don’t recognize
Unaware of the significance of what's being lost in the relationship
I want you to want me
Desiring reciprocation of affection
You want me to need
Feeling the need for dependency from the other person
All of the love you won't give me for free
Wanting love that isn't freely given by the other person
Secondhand, you get high and I rely on
Reliance on someone else's highs or euphoria, indirectly
Secondhand, not put first so I'm in line for
Not being a priority but waiting in line for attention
Secondhand, I'm barely able to survive on secondhand
Struggling to survive or cope with dependence on secondhand emotions or experiences
I can't get by on secondhand
Unable to manage or subsist solely on secondhand experiences
Hooked on something oh so hard to find
Addicted or deeply attached to something elusive or challenging to find
We hit some bumps, I drew a line
Encountering difficulties but drawing a boundary or limit
Pull me in closer, push me away
Being pulled in and pushed away in the relationship
Don’t get my own, why do I stay?
Confusion about why staying in the relationship despite not receiving understanding or fulfillment
I want you to want me
Desiring reciprocation of affection
You want me to need
Feeling the need for dependency from the other person
All of the love you won't give me for free
Wanting love that isn't freely given by the other person
Secondhand, you get high and I rely on
Reliance on someone else's highs or euphoria, indirectly
Secondhand, not put first so I'm in line for
Not being a priority but waiting in line for attention
Secondhand, I'm barely able to survive on secondhand
Struggling to survive or cope with dependence on secondhand emotions or experiences
I can't get by on secondhand
Unable to manage or subsist solely on secondhand experiences
Secondhand, you get high and I rely on
Reliance on someone else's highs or euphoria, indirectly
Secondhand, not put first so I'm in line for
Not being a priority but waiting in line for attention
Secondhand, barely able to survive on secondhand
Struggling to survive or cope with dependence on secondhand emotions or experiences
I can't get by on secondhand
Unable to manage or subsist solely on secondhand experiences
I want you to want me
Desiring reciprocation of affection
You get high and I rely on
Reliance on someone else's highs or euphoria, indirectly
You get high and I rely on
-Secondhand, you get high and I rely on
-Secondhand, not put first so I'm in line for
Not being a priority but waiting in line for attention
Secondhand, I'm barely able to survive on secondhand
Struggling to survive or cope with dependence on secondhand emotions or experiences
I can't get by on secondhand
Unable to manage or subsist solely on secondhand experiences
