Megan Slankard - Second Best Lyrics
I'm being hopelessly optimistic—you're an honest crookThe poor reputation your love gets should make you lookIt gets pretty uglyI'm clearly misunderstoodI'm second best and that's pretty goodI need extra time to seeIf those plastic glasses are half full or half emptyIt's a sure bet my life's an organized messBut I'm second best and that's pretty goodI have drawn aI've drawn aI've drawn a blankAll those years I was getting oldI can't remember though I must have been toldI was your only one a million timesIf you told me once it was a lieIt's after darkMust be light again'Twas a near missMust have hit 'emHe took everything all that glitteredHe said “now then, we mustn't be bitter”It's a little big, but I guess my dream's okayI can make it if I start todayWe're alone together in this relationDon't feel real, must be a genuine imitationI have drawn aI've drawn aI've drawn a blankAll those years I was getting oldI can't remember though I must have been toldI was your only one a million timesIf you told me once it was a lieFuzzy logic, you say, but who really caresIt's an exact estimation everywhereI didn't realize but it's no good to be madI'm second best and that's pretty bad
