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

You didn't stop or hesitate

To find yourself in someone else's arms

Had my walls up 'til I met you

And you changed me 'cuz I let you

And you build 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

You led me on I never guessed

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

The songs you like come on somehow, somewhere

Every drive-in that we ever saw

The place we used to mini-golf

The breaks from work you used to call

I don't miss that shit at all (no no)

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 led me on I never guessed

I'm tired of being second-

Had my walls up 'til I met you

And you changed me 'cuz I let you

And you build 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-

Back where I started

You led me on I never guessed

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)

I try to see through all the mess

The perks of being second-
