Never firstborn, not last in line older siblings and younger behind Jeans too long, patched up tares just like all the clothes I wear Missing photos in albums lost Birthday parties canceled, not tossed Prom dates all but forgotten graduations, misbegotten [CHORUS] I'm not your first, I'm not your last Not in your future, just your past It's okay, I understand. I'll always be, your middle man I never doubted your purity Not mine to take, assuredly I know your first love wasn't me and your last I'll never be As years go on, we do as well I keep my promise, not kiss and tell One last look, my time here ends Remember me as yours ascends [CHORUS] I'm not your first, I'm not your last Not in your future, just your past It's okay, I understand. I'll always be, your middle man Here at the gates, beyond dark night I gaze slowly up, beneath bright light I am but gray, not black or white And can only hope that it's alright I'm not your first, I'm not your last Now without future, just my past If that's okay, you understand. I'll always be, your middle man "Do not fear" booms voice above "For here you'll find but perfect love" "I know you've done the best you can." "Welcome home, my middle man." It's okay to be a middle man It's okay to be a middle man It's okay to be a middle man It's okay to be a middle man
