Second Best

I'll never forget how stupid in love I felt I'll always regret how I couldn't ever tell That you walked a little faster, left me behind Kissed me with somebody else in mind I loved you so much that I settled for less Oh, you were my everything I was your second best Hmm (ahh) Lying awake, I'd watch as you'd dream at night (dream at night) Nightingale singing half-hearted lullabies (oh) Well, you swung me around in that midsummer dance (oh) Held me in close as you thought of your past I love way too much, oh, this hurts to confess (oh) Oh, you were my everything I was your second best You've given me nothing to miss Honestly, life has been much better since I spoke to you last Why am I still wondering If I stand a chance or if you'd have me back? Everyone warned me you were a bad idea I never listen Maybe I will next year When I've walked a little further into my life Fallen in love and left you behind But I'm still a little in love with this mess Oh, you were my everything I'm just your second best, hmm Second best
