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

Lying awake, I'd watch as you'd dream at night

Dream at night

Nightingale singing half-hearted lullabies

Well, you swung me around in that midsummer dance

Held me in close as you thought of your past

I love way too much, oh, this hurts to confess

Oh, you were my everything, I was your second best

Ooh, 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

Second best
