Sara Bareilles – Bright Lights and Cityscapes Lyrics 13 years ago
Or, she's his friend and he confides in her. He doesn't know that she loves him. And she'll love him until he realizes he loves her, then she'll run away scared.

Sara Bareilles – Bright Lights and Cityscapes Lyrics 13 years ago
I think it's about a guy choosing his ex over her. She's saying she wouldn't need a second chance with him (like ex needs) because she would love him right the first time, and not let him go.

I think the paragraph is what she wishes would happen: I’m the one that you always choose.

But then she's saying what's happening: You say maybe it’ll last this time,But I’m gonna love you,You never have to ask,I’m gonna love you,
And
I’m gonna love you so right,I wouldn’t need a second chance.

After that she's basically confirming that in the first bit of the song she's writing what she wishes would happen: Shield your eyes from the truth at end,Tell me why it’ll be good again,

I think in the end she's saying if he chooses his ex, she won't take him back when he wants her:I’m gonna love you,‘Til you start looking back,I’m gonna love you so right

So he has to make up his mind.
