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.
Shouting our slogans and waving our flags,
but never living up to a word we've said.
Is it just an act while you stand on the stage,
or a chance to look better before you turn the page?
I won't be like the ones before...
I've got some changes to make within myself,
and I started making that change today.
Remember all those promises you made?
I can't believe how quick your feelings fade.
I thought you were different,
but you're just like the rest.
Never again will I settle for second best.
go!
we won't settle for second best.
I can see you're just like the rest.
We won't settle for second best.
