We came so close
But you pulled back
I wasn't good enough to hold on to
I never was and never will been
When am going to learn 2nd best is all I'll ever be
You tucked me in at night
You read me your poetry
I laid with you when you were sick
I was there at every beck and call
And I just get turned away with all the rest
When am I going to learn that im just 2nd best
