Lyrics
Second Best
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I want your boyfriend in a box so I can send him off.
Somewhere far away so we'll be the way like we used to be.
You want my girlfriend all tied up so you can threaten her since I'm not with you.
Now you're telling her that you still want me.
I don't want to be second best.
I've waited too long.
I just want a second chance to be your first again.
You're never satisfied with anyone.
Pretending you're content.
When your boyfriend leaves, you'll be calling me and we'll cheat again.
To be your first again.
Why can't this feeling end?
To be your first again.
