Second Best

Punch me in the heart again
I'll take it like your second-best friend
Is that all I'll ever be?
Here when your whole life's a mess
You've no fear of loneliness
That feeling happening to me

I wasn't the first in line
And now I find my sorry ass resigned
To second best 'cause I can't see
How I can ever drop a hint or two
I just might be in love with you
Yeah, what you sought in all your cast-offs
It's all here in me
It's all here in me

You'll come stumbling in tonight
Tell me nothing's going right
I'm the one you turn to, that's okay

I can be your sounding board
I just wish for a little more
Running out of time to make you see me in that other way

And if I wait too long
You might decide that you belong with someone else
And then I'll be quickly kicked out to the kerb
To cling to you would be absurd
This hesitation's killing me

I wasn't the first in line
And now I find my sorry ass resigned
To second best 'cause I can't see
How I can ever drop a hint or two
I just might be in love with you
Yeah, what you sought in all your cast-offs
It's all here in me
It's all here in me
It's all here in me
It's all here in me
Yeah, it's all here in me
