Analysis of If I were Your #1



If I were your #1
I'd make sure I was your only 1
Your sun, your moon, your everything
To see my face and your heart would sing

A bright star on a hopeless night
I'd make sure everything was alright
I'd be your special girl, your only 1
If I were your #1

But my hopeless dreams will never be
Seems like you'll never commit to me
To run a race that can't be won
I'll never be your #1
