Backstory:

The funny thing about feelings is that they have a way of changing.  We can block them or acknowledge them, but either way, they are going to show up and affect our relationships.  A secondary casualty is the fallout when the relationship ends and one of them is going to be the one who feels they are left feeling devastated.  It is a question of which one of them is going get their heart broken, and be the secondary casualty. This song is part of the Round The Globe Project, Lyrics by Clare Steffen, with Music, Vocals, and Production by Paul DeMarco.

Lyrics:

                                                  
V1

You blocked out your feelings

And I bumped into mine

A secondary casualty

Was just a matter of time 



V2

I could of kept’em hidden

But that wouldn’t have been kind

Lies are forbidden,

But You know that love ain’t blind



Chorus

This wouldn’t be the first time

We tried to pretend

We could make this rhyme

Hold on to the bitter end

Just a secondary casualty

Your heart or mine 

Secondary casualty



V3

The sweet sound of your voice

Will sure start to fade

I gotta make a choice

And not just make a trade



V4

I don’t wanna look back

And think what might’ve been

We can’t rewind and hit play 

And start over again



Chorus

This wouldn’t be the first time

We tried to pretend

We could make this rhyme

Hold on to the bitter end

Just a secondary casualty

For your heart or mine 

Secondary casualty



Umh, umh, umh, umh

Umh, umh, umh, umh


Umh, umh, umh, umh

Umh, umh, umh, umh



V5

I could have run out fast

And be long gone before the dawn

Or we could fool ourselves

And make believe the past is gone



Chorus
This wouldn’t be the first time

We tried to pretend

We could make this rhyme

Hold on to the bitter end

Just a secondary casualty

Your heart or mine 

Your heart or mine 

Secondary casualty
