[Verse 1]

I'll never forget how stupid in love I felt

I'll always regret how I couldn't ever tell

That you walked a little faster, left me behind

Kissed me with somebody else in mind

I loved you so much

That I settled for less


[Chorus]

Oh, you were my everything

I was your second best


[Verse 2]

Lying awake, I'd watch as you'd dream at night (Dream at night)

Nightingale singing half-hearted lullabies

Well, you swing me around in that midsummer dance

Hеld me in close as you thought of your past

I love way too much

Oh, this hurts to confеss


[Chorus]

Oh, you were my everything

I was your second best


[Bridge]

You've given me nothing to miss

Honestly, life has been much better since

I spoke to you last

Why am I still wondering

If I stand a chance or if you'd have me back?


[Verse 3]

Everyone warned me you were a bad idea

I never listen

Maybe I will next year

When I've walked a little further into my life

Fallen in love and left you behind

But I'm still a little in love with this mess


[Chorus]

Oh, you were my everything

I'm just your second best


[Outro]

Mm

Second best
