Second Best (9/10/14)

I wasn’t supposed to fall,
No, wasn’t supposed to drown.
It was supposed to be “just friends”,
Oh, what a friend I’ve found.

And when the daylight breaks through the window,
I’ll be awake flooded in my thoughts,
I try to bury myself in my pillow,
But hiding isn’t something I was taught.

But then we f*cked it up and made love instead of sex.
And now I’m lost because you are only second best.
You’ll always be second best.
I guess I found our common ground,
I’m always being compared to the others,
And I’m always second best.
I’ll always be second best.
We’ll only ever be second best.

I’m settling for what I need and not what I want,
Trying to convince myself that it’s what is right.
But I know parts of me are so ungodly miserable,
And that is something I just have to live with.

I’m stuck in this pit, forcing smiles at every passerby.
I’m sick of this sh*t, violently shaking in my head
I’m stuck in this pit, tired of feeling like the bad guy.
I’m sick of this sh*t, so many things left unsaid.

But then we f*cked it up and made love instead of sex.
And now I’m lost because you are only second best.
You’ll always be second best.
I guess I found our common ground,
I’m always being compared to the others,
And I’m always second best.
I’ll always be second best.
We’ll only ever be second best.

I found you, you were broken,
I tried my best to fix it.
No one ever taught me,
That things left broken,
Are often the most beautiful.
And God, you’re beautiful.
But you’ll never be first.

But then we f*cked it up and made love instead of sex.
And now I’m lost because you are only second best.
You’ll always be second best.
We’ll only ever be second best.

Wow. Great lyrics.

I'm trying! I think I'm at the point where I'm ready to get brutally honest with myself!

This is wonderful! And yes, "brutally honest" is good

Always a joy hearing from you, Doug, and BIB! Thank you my friend!

"Flooded in my thoughts." I can relate to that. It's hard to be "just friends."
