Bronze Dreams

---

We talk all the time, just you and me

But our words are stupid and insignificant

I always laugh and all you can say

Is "okay"

---

Am I just a bronze medal to you?

Just there when you need a little extra ego?

Sometimes, I don't think you even care

Why am I even there?

Because if I were to leave

Just where would you be?

---

We never can have an exciting conversation

Trivial matters don't even make you smile

All you want to see is the gold

This marathon is getting old

---

Am I just a bronze medal to you?

All you want is that golden trophy

You don't really care at all

About the bronze

If I were stolen

Would you be sullen?

---

Someone out there will be content

Ecstatic, thrilled, overjoyed

With the bronze medal

Shining so dully in light of day

---

I just wish I could be gold
