"Always Second Best"

Always

Second Best

By: R. A. Cvetich

Once we were indivisible

Now to you, I’m invisible

My heart and my joy you took

I could walk in in a priceless gown

And she could walk in dressed as a clown

And you’d brush right past me to tell her how good she looks

She’s the only thing you see

And my heart is screaming, “ "What’s wrong with me?!?!"

CHORUS

What can I do

To get a smile from you?

She always gets First Place and I get Honorable Mention

And what can I say

To make you look my way?

How can I get your attention?
To say I could be her would be a lie

But God knows I’m gonna try

Cuz I get “Okay Outfit” and she gets “Best Dressed”

Always second best

I remember the days you cared

Now you act like I’m not even there

Except to feel alone, my heart has no choice

I could sing to you a song of our love

And she’d say your name and that is enough

For you to tell her she’s got a beautiful voice

And she’s all that matters to you

What else can I do?

Repeat CHORUS

Bridge

I could tell you a joke

And she’d repeat the same words I spoke

And only then would you laugh

Every time you look in her eyes

You don’t see me dying inside

Or my heart that is tearing in half

Will I ever measure up?

Will I ever be enough?

Every single waking hour I lose it

If you care about me, then prove it

Repeat CHORUS
