Backup Plan by Cordelia Cross

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I’m the shadow in your light,
Always there, but out of sight.
I’m the echo in your words,
A fleeting thought, just barely heard.

When you’re lonely, I’m the cure,
Your shelter when you’re unsure.
But when the clouds begin to part,
You don’t even see my heart.

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m the one you run to when there’s no one else around,
But I’m tired of being your lost and found.

[Chorus]
I’m your backup plan, your safety net,
The one you’ll only love when there’s no one left.
I’m the shoulder you cry on, the hand you hold,
But I’m never the one when your world turns gold.
You forget me when you can,
‘Cause I’m just your backup plan.

[Verse 2]
Every word you say feels thin,
Like a door you won’t let me in.
I’m the spark to light your flame,
But I never get to share your name.

You promise things will change,
But every vow feels out of range.
I’m the silence you return to,
When the noise won’t see you through.

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m the one who picks you up when you fall down,
But I’m drowning in the weight of being around.

[Chorus]
I’m your backup plan, your safety net,
The one you’ll only love when there’s no one left.
I’m the shoulder you cry on, the hand you hold,
But I’m never the one when your world turns gold.
You forget me when you can,
‘Cause I’m just your backup plan.

[Bridge]
Maybe I deserve more than this,
More than being your momentary bliss.
I’m not a placeholder, I’m not a ghost,
I’m someone who could love you the most.

[Chorus]
But I’m your backup plan, your safety net,
The one you’ll only love when there’s no one left.
I’m the shoulder you cry on, the hand you hold,
But I’m never the one when your world turns gold.
You forget me when you can,
‘Cause I’m just your backup plan.

[Outro]
So I’m letting go, I’ll set myself free,
I’m done waiting for you to see me.
No more shadows, no more lies,
This backup plan is saying goodbye.
