Second to You

I was your back boun

You were a dead weight.

You spoke a language.

I couldn't translate.

I was your stronghold.

That place you'd run to

Bask in your glory, reflections in the swimming pool.

Despite in every tribute that I paid.

And every hour that I gave ya.

Drain my mind and use it in place.

To take another step up that ladder.

And even though I put you first,

I'm always second to you.

I'm always second to you.

And oh I've seen you at your worst.

I'm always second to you.

I'm always second to you.

And even though I'll put you first,

I'm always second to you.

And oh I've seen you at your worst.

I'm always second to you.

I'm always second to you.

I was your first date.

Just like your next of kin.

All of your problems,

That I inherited.

They maybe heavy.

I should have cared less.

You wouldn't notice but your self-obsessed.

Inspite of every mile that I walked.

And every lonely weekday evening.

You found a way to keep me hanging on.

Even though you were so self-serving.

And even though I put you first,

I'm always second to you.

I'm always second to you.

You know I've seen you at your worst.

I'm always second to you.

I'm always second to you

And even though I put you first,

I'm always second to you.

You know I've see you at your worst.

I'm always second to you.

I'm always second to you

Your worth is frail.

I'd hate for it to break.

Holding you together,

It was my first mistake.

Your worth is frail.

I'd hate for it to break.

Holding you together,

Never again.

I'm always second to you.

I'm always second to you.

I'm always second to you.

I'm always second to you

And even though I put you first,

I'm always second to you.

You know I've seen you at your worst.

I'm always second to you.

I'm always second to you.
