Insignificant Other
(© 2010 Andy Hill)

If what doesn't kill me makes me stronger
I should be invincible now
I can't play this role any longer
Draw the curtain, take a bow
I treated you like the lover
I always hoped you could be
But I'll be riding shotgun on Haley's comet
The day I complete that sonnet
'Cause with you there's no "us" no "other"
There's just me, me, me

Don't want to be your best friend forever
I don't want you to love me like a brother
Or be your shoulder to cry on
When you need another insignificant other

The times I've been most lonely
Weren't when I was alone
No, you were lyin' right beside me
Glancing at your phone
Still, I treated you like the woman
I always hoped you'd become
My chest aches when each shadow I see
Is your horse tryin' to run free
There's nothing between your heart and me
But a whole lotta gone

Chorus

I saw a shooting star tonight and just for a moment or two
I thought of something else in the world
That wasn't you

Don't want to be your best friend forever
You need another insignificant other
I can't be your shoulder to cry on
You need another insignificant other
Your Rock of Gibraltar
Your champion
Insignificant other
