second best

Its always gonna be too late
To say the things Ill never say
But honestly you wouldnt care at all
You left me here with all the weight
You didnt stop or hesitate
To find yourself in someone elses 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 Im
Back where I started
You led me on I never guessed
Im 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 dont 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 Im
Back where I started
You led me on I never guessed
Im 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 dont 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
Im 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-
