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
Nightingale singing half hearted lullabies
Well, you swung me around in that mid summer 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
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 was your second best
Second best
