I would have given you, anything that you wanted,
I would have taken you anywhere you wanted to go
I would have answered you any question that you asked me
I would have told you anything you wanted to know
 
 
We used to live like there was no tomorrow
As if the new day wasn't going to begin
But the light in your eyes, is going to say goodbye
And I don't want to be you're second violin.
 
 
The little things you do, I still keep them in my memories
And little things you said, I still keep them in my mind
The times we had were good, and we never had a problem,
Times like we're leaving, so very far behind.
 
 
We used to live like there was no tomorrow
As if the new day wasn't going to begin
But the time is moving on, and my gig is all gone
And I don't wanna be your second violin.
And I don't wanna be your second violin
