Second Best Lyrics

If we sail away to Italy

On the way to Sicily

Travelled around the world with me

Would you still be there

And when we're seeing all these pretty sights

And I ever close my eyes

I'll see you on the other side

Would you picture me

Because I know inside

That she's stuck on the back of your mind

It's no one's fault

That she was the one that left you

And I'm just second best

See, trust can be a partial thing

I believe that you trust me

But I fear that you're not fully here

Is she on your mind

And it hurts to know I wasn't first

I was just your second choice

And when you close your eyes

You picture her instead

Because I know inside

That she's stuck on the back of your mind

It's no one's fault

That she was the one that left you

And I'm just second best

I plaster a smile on my face

See how long it takes for you to

Give up on this mess and go back

Crawling to her

At least I know it's her not me

I won't stop you from leaving

Cuz I know I'm here for company

You only want her

Did it to myself by staying

I don't really mind, I know that

This is temporary

Cuz I'm not her

Because I know inside

That she's stuck on the back of your mind

It's no one's fault

That she was the one that left you

And I'm just second best

She was the one that left you and I'm just
