SECOND BEST

I don't know why you do this to me
you act like loving me is a chore
why is it so hard for you to say
that you don't love me anymore?

I see a distant look growing
in your beautiful brown eyes
why is the truth so hard for you?
why fill me with these lies?

Second best is not for me
I want to be your number one
but I'm only around when no one else is
I wish you would think of me as fun.

One day you'll look back on us
and regret throwing away romance
I know we could be great again
if only I could have the chance.
