Second Best

I'll never forget how stupid in love I felt I'll always regret how I couldn't ever tell That you walked a little faster, left me behind Kissed me with somebody else in mind I loved you so much That I settled for less Oh, you were my everything I was your second best Lying awake, I'd watch as you'd dream at night Nightingale singing half-hearted lullabies Well, you swing me around in that midsummer dance Held me in close as you thought of your past I love way too much Oh, this hurts to confess Oh, you were my everything I was your second best You've given me nothing to miss Honestly, life has been much better since I spoke to you last Why am I still wondering If I stand a chance or if you'd have me back? Everyone warned me you were a bad idea I never listen Maybe I will next year When I've walked a little further into my life Fallen in love and left you behind But I'm still a little in love with this mess Oh, you were my everything I was your second best Mm Second best --- Second Best - Laufey
