Second Best

I think that I'm just second best
I think that I'm just second best
Alive is all I am
Alive is all I am
The pain is too surreal
I but I'm far from my love
Nothing can explain the way I feel (so wrong)
Breaking down to save myself
I call my friends, I burn my lips
On cigarettes, because I refused to let them in
You say it gets better
But I don't wanna hear it
Wanna learn the hard way
(Oh-oh-oh)
Go bother somebody else
(Oh-oh-oh)
And let me live in my hell
The last thing I need
Is for someone to walk out on me
I think that I'm just second best
I think that I'm just second best
When enough's enough
I swear I'll let you know
Right now the best thing for me
Is to fight on my own
You say it gets better
But I don't wanna hear it
Wanna learn the hard way
(Oh-oh-oh)
Go bother somebody else
(Oh-oh-oh)
And let me live in my hell
The last thing I need
Is for someone to walk out on me
Sometimes I wanna get lost
Just listen to the city sounds and be pissed off 'cause
The last thing I need
Is for someone to walk out on me
I think that I'm just second best
I think that I'm just second best
I think that I'm just second best
I think that I'm just second best
Alive is all I am
Alive is all I am
I think that I'm just second best
I think that I'm just second best
Alive is all I am
Alive is all I am
I think that I'm just second best
Alive is all I am
Alive is all I am
Go bother somebody else
And let me live in my hell
The last thing I need
Is for someone to walk out on me
Sometimes I wanna get lost
Just listen to the city sounds and be pissed off 'cause
The last thing I need
Is for someone to walk out on me
