An inconvenient attraction.
Or a way to pass the time.
Another one of life's distractions.
Is that all I am to you?

Glistening tears, listening ears.
Hands worth holding.
A step above loneliness.
Is that all I am to you?

Someone who'll be easy to replace.
Cheap lips good enough to taste.
Sprawled out on your bed
I'm a place to rest your head.

A defiance of your better judgement.
The difference between being in love
And just being content.
Is that all I am to you?

A passing attraction.
A way to kill the time.
A glancing distraction.
A substitute for love.

Is that all I am to you?
