Secondhand Lyrics by Stephanie Ridgeway Johnson

2021

[Verse]
Forget your love letters
I refuse to be romanticized
How small I must seem to you
So forgiving as you apologize
[Verse]
I built up monuments
Just for you to sit in
While I ignored
Every rising suspicion
I don't think friends look at each other that way
While you have me are you thinking her name?
[Chorus]
I placed you on a pedestal
But I was always expendable
I dreamt of happy endings that never came
While she smells like your cologne
Her name is lighting up your phone
Your secondhand love just isn't the same
[Verse]
For her there are poems of mountains and skies
But with me you couldn't find the right rhymes for my eyes
With the truth at the surface
I pulled it back beneath the waves
The earthquake didn't hurt us
But the aftershocks remain
All of our friends probably think I'm pathetic
What hurts the most is I don't think you regret it
[Chorus]
I placed you on a pedestal
But I was always expendable
I dreamt of happy endings that never came
While she smells like your cologne
Her name is lighting up your phone
Your secondhand love just isn't the same
[Verse]
Lie with her
And lie to me
I let you stay just to watch you leave
Velvet gloves for violent acts
Hold my hand when you put that dagger in my back
[Chorus]
I placed you on a pedestal
But I was always expendable
I dreamt of happy endings that never came
She sings when you drive her home
While I spend the night alone
Your secondhand love could never be the same
Your secondhand love just isn't the same
