Second Place

I wish I knew what to do

That would keep you safe

From abusing yourself

You built a cage for your grief

Made relations plain

And you left me on your shelf

I'm much better off now

In the second place

I'm much better off

With all this space

Written in the dark

'til death ooh

Our long and separate paths

Sometimes I think of the start

You said I was the one

Who brought you out of your head

I held fast to a fantasy

Liked the person that you saw

Never needing someone else

I know

I'm much better off now

In the second place

I'm much better off

With endless space

Written in the dark

'til death ooh

Lead our long and separate paths

When I called

Broken and pale

Reflections from your stone wall

Near an open gate

Later on, you were burning

Urgent touch

I could never make sense

Was it acting up?

Written in the dark

'til death ooh

Our long and separate paths
