Second Player

---

You said, “Just one more game,”

But I’ve been waiting, it’s always the same

Dinner’s cold, I’m dressed to slay

But you’re locked into that gameplay

---

I text, I call, I even pout

But somehow I still lose out

To pixels, buttons, flashing lights

While I spend solo Friday nights

---

I don’t wanna be your second player

Waiting in the wings like a background layer

You’ve got your loot, I’ve got my pride

But babe, I won’t stand on the side

I’m not tryna rage quit love

But I won’t beg for time or touch

So tell me now—am I your girl

Or just a pause in your gaming world?

---

I learned your kill streaks, even played along

But now I see where I don’t belong

I’m more than just a voice you hear

When you glance away from your gaming gear

---

Okay, okay, I’ve been a fool

Didn’t mean to make you feel uncool

You’re not a level—I don’t wanna lose

If I had to pick, girl, I’d choose you

---

I don’t wanna be your second player

Locked in the shadows, love on a timer

If I’m your win, then play me right

Don’t bench me just for battle night

So power down, look me in the eye

And show me love that doesn’t lie

'Cause baby, I’m the main campaign

Not just background in your game
