Second (Never First)
You pay more attention to your friends than you do me,
I just want a few minutes of your time.
Can't you notice you're slowly losing me?
Soon enough, I won't be yours and you won't be mine.
I make plans you can never attend,
I guess that's okay?
I call you just to talk,
But you seem to be always busy and have nothing to say.
It's been this way from the start,
Can't think of a time when it was not.
I've never been your main priority,
Even though you've been mine a lot.
Second, that's all I have ever been,
Never am first, never could win.
I put everything aside, I skip plans I already had,
I'm still placed in the back and that makes me sad.
I probably shouldn't, but I think I have wasted three years,
Because nobody else has ever given me tears.
And it'll be a tragedy if we end,
But I'd rather be nothing at all than be placed second.
How's it gonna be?
I can't go through this every day.
I'm always holding back,
I never spit out words I want to say.
Do you remember all those times,
Where I wasn't placed last?
I'm thinking with time and effort,
We could reclaim that past.
Second, that's all I have ever been,
Never am first, never could win.
I put everything aside, I skip plans I already had,
I'm still placed in the back and that makes me sad.
I probably shouldn't, but I think I have wasted three years,
Because nobody else has ever given me tears.
And it'll be a tragedy if we end,
But I'd rather be nothing at all than be placed second.
Spoken, never heard,
Shrug me off all the time.
Thought I was your everything?
You're drawing the line.
I won't stay, not a chance,
If this turns out to be the case.
It's not like you ever pay attention,
To you; I'm just another face.
Second, that's all I have ever been,
Never am first, never could win.
I put everything aside, I skip plans I already had,
I'm still placed in the back and that makes me sad.
I probably shouldn't, but I think I have wasted three years,
Because nobody else has ever given me tears.
And it'll be a tragedy if we end,
But I'd rather be nothing at all than be placed second...
