I’m the one you can always run to.
Even when she breaks your heart
I’ll be here.
Waiting in the wings.

I’m the one you can tell your secrets to.
Even when she doesn’t understand you
You can share your dreams with me. I’m
Waiting in the wings

I’m the one who you can always count on.
Even when she fights with you
I’ve got you back.
Waiting in the wings

I’m the one always waiting.
Hoping I get a chance to go on
Standing; Never leaving.
Waiting in the wings

Finally it’s my chance to shine.
She pushed you too far.
I’ll never again be.
Waiting in the wings
