the middle man

I'll make you a deal I'll laugh at all your jokes if you just stay and hold me close I wanna feel the love you say I'm owed Fortune spins the wheel And it tells me that I'm running out of pieces of my heart To give to anybody else Can you keep a secret But this time actually keep it to yourself I'm tired of strangers asking if I'm doing fine I won't let you have it The bottle's overflowed but I can hold it in my hands if I try For once in your damn life, can you let just one thing be mine? I promise I'm not asking for too much 'Cause I've grown tired of making sure that you're alright Will it ever be enough? I just want to find a word that you have never said And I just want to see with my own eyes before I'm dead When will it be my turn Will I ever get the chance To be more than the middle man
