Insert Me In Your Life

By star

Insert me in your life when you want, I'll wait patiently
Ignore me until you need another performer in your show
And I'm the most experienced one there is
I'm always happy to play the role of your love

Elect me as president once again, you know I'll accept
I'll bask in your glory, run with you in fields of wheat towards a glimmering sunrise
Pretending I'm dumb enough to believe it'll last forever
Pretending I don't live for the sensation of your hand on mine

    the first April flowers poking out of the ground, snow

    melting under my bare feet. 

    The ache of you digs into my chest like a sharpened blade,
