I'm not much for promises

But I promise I'm the one for you

And time and time again you promised me too

Thought I was the only one who knew

Now you've got me waitin' all this time (All this time)

Just for you looking at me with no grace in your eyes

And I stare, and I stare to believe that it's true

That your for me, is just as mine for you

Why am I second again? I'm stuck in a trend

Where you are the only one

Who gets the love in the end

While I'm just a friend

(Go me askin')

Why am I second in line? I try and I try

To show you I'm more than anything

Not some other guy, always by your side

You got me out here asking, asking

Well you have got me wondering

What I've been doing wrong and I'm here again

While I stay here losing sleep

While you say I'm in your dreams

While you're in his bed

Oh-oh, my friends say I'm dumb, just get over this

But when red turns to green I just can't resist

But your kiss, feels loving (Loving)

You got me asking questions

You shut me up with nothing

Why am I second again? I'm stuck in a trend

Where you are the only one

Who gets the love in the end

While I'm just a friend

(Go me askin')

Why am I second in line? I try and I try

To show you I'm more than anything

Not some other guy, always by your side

You got me out here asking, asking

(First is the worst, second is the best)

(But if first is the worst, why's your love that he gets?)

Oh, it's always you with your same old stories

You, same old tears still pouring (Ho-oh)

Can't tell if you're still in love with me or number one

You got me, oh

Why am I second again? I'm stuck in a trend

Where you are the only one

Who gets the love in the end

While I'm just a friend

(You got me out here asking these questions)

Why am I second in line? I try and I try

To show you I'm more than anything

Not some other guy, oh, he's by your side

You got me out here asking, asking
