Edit for 3/1/2011: So while I really like the words to this, my recording was just a hot mess. To the point that I can't even listen to it all the way though. One of slated projects will be to rerecord this song. I'll put a link to that here once it's done.
Background: The idea of this song really struck me as funny. As nerdy as this is, it was inspired by Battle Star Galactica. In one of the recent episodes, one of the characters laments that no one ended up with who they really loved, since humanity was almost obliterated. They just picked from what was left. I decided to build a love song around that idea.
Lyrics / Tab:
Verse and Chorus - C G F G
Bridge: Dm G
V1
you keep telling me, I'm stuck in the past
you're afraid that what we have will never last
Well, since you're asking, my affection's not a race
but if it was, you'd come in second place
I see the way that you look at me,
with eyes so bright but not as green.
but I'm here now, and I'll see it through
from what was left, I'm glad I got you
chorus
well here's the truth, no need to be sad
you were plan b, but that's not half bad
you're not my soulmate, that much is true
but I can't be with her, so I might as well love you.
V2
I won't lie and say I think about you at night,
you're not my dreamgirl, but baby that's alright
I hoped it wouldn't turn out this way
but we're together now, and that's okay
cause when I'm with you, I can almost forget
that everyday I'm filled with regret
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
You're not the queen, but the princess to my soul
you're the buffalo bills, to my super bowl
you're like the 90's knicks, in the nba
you're like having ruduced fair, on the subway
all of this, I say from the heart
please take what I give, even if it's only a part
V3
I hope I can lay your fears to rest,
I assure, I love you second best
just cause I think of her, everytime that you laugh
you can't throw away, what we have
True love is only once in life time,
I should know, I've missed out on mine
