Second Best

It's always gonna be too late

To say the things I'll never say

But honestly, you wouldn't care at all

You left me here with all the weight

And didn't stop or hesitate

To find yourself in someone else's arms

Had my walls up

Till I met you

And you changed me

Cause I let you

Then you built me up

To watch me fall apart

I was so guarded

Thought I was different from the rest

When all I am is second best, now I'm

Back where I started

Lead me on, I'd never guess

I'm tired of being second best, oh yeah

I try to see through all the mess

The perks of being second best, oh yeah

Imagined you in an empty bar

Or the passenger seat of my car

Every song you like comes on somehow, somewhere

Every drive-in that we ever saw, the place we used to mini golf, the breaks from works you used to call, no I don't miss that shit at all

I was so guarded

Thought I was different from the rest

When all I am is second best, now I'm

Back where I started

Lead me on, I'd never guess

I'm tired of being second best, oh yeah

I try to see through all the mess

The perks of being second best, oh yeah

Had my walls up

Till I met you

And you changed me

Cause I let you

Then you built me up

To watch me fall apart

Every lie

You ever told me

They don't add up

To your story

Now I wonder

How I ever fell so hard

I was so guarded

Thought I was different from the rest

When all I am is second best, now I'm

Back where I started

You lead me me on, I'd never guess

I'm tired of being second best, oh yeah

I try to see through all the mess

The perks of being second best, oh yeah
