Second Place Ft. Dying Poet

[Verse 1] You save me for the nights when your other plans fall through Pull me close like a secret, then act like we’re strangers in a room I played it cool, played the girl who's sweet, whatever you’d need Now I’m done being the girl you remember when you’re lonely If you can't give me the world by making me your world If you think I'm this type of girl Then you don't fucking want me Never saw me as your one and only [Pre-Chorus] I’m done being the afterthought in your phone The kiss you want in private, the girl you won’t call your own [Chorus] Backup, Afterthought, Second place You thought we’d stay and beg to share space We’re not auditioning for your attention We want first place, no honorable mention First and only is what we deserve not second best If we’re not the only ones then don’t go getting undressed Do you think this is a game That we did it for the fame The jury is out it's a closed case We will not accept second place [Verse 2] I'm the almost on your lips, the maybe you won't say Good enough to keep around, never good enough to stay You call me when she's busy, when the room gets way too quiet Give me all your midnight honesty, then daylight makes you hide it I know exactly where I stand, one step behind "the one" Close enough to feel like winning, never close enough to have won So keep your fucking silver medal, I don't want what's left I'm tired of being almost everything And somehow still your second best [Pre-Chorus] I'm done being the second choice you call when you're alone The almost that you reach for, but never call your own [Chorus] Backup, Afterthought, Second place You thought we’d stay and beg to share space We’re not auditioning for your attention We want first place, no honorable mention First and only is what we deserve not second best If we’re not the only ones then don’t go getting undressed Do you think this is a game That we did it for the fame The jury is out it's a closed case We will not accept second place [Bridge] You kept me as a backup, now you're shocked I walked away Thought I'd wait around forever while you chose me halfway Good enough to touch in private, not enough to fucking choose Now you can keep your little game I'm done being what you use And when your first choice leaves you lonely Don't you dare come back to mine You had me as your second option Now you don't get me at all this time Go ahead. Call your first choice. Or your third. Or your fourth. You've got options, right? You thought we were competing for you. That's the funniest fucking part. We weren't hard to choose. You were just too fucking greedy to deserve either one of us. Keep your options. Keep your excuses. And lose our fucking number. ``` [Final Chorus] Backup, afterthought, second place You really thought we'd stay and fight for space We're done auditioning for your attention Keep your choices, keep your honorable mentions First and only is the least that we deserve You don't get our bodies when you don't have the nerve To choose us like you mean it, say it straight to our face You wanted options, now you've lost us How's that taste? The jury came back It's a closed case We'd rather walk away with nothing Than ever take second place
