Verse 1 I don’t wanna be the other guy, I don’t wanna be the essence of your lie, I don’t wanna be the shadows when you pretend to try. I don’t wanna be in second place, I don’t wanna be hidden without a trace, I don’t want you to say you love me when you pretend not to know me, I wanna be your only treasure, not only your guilty pleasure. It ain’t easy, baby, it ain’t easy. Chorus 1 It ain’t easy, my love, to live in second place, It ain’t easy, my love, to watch you chase his trace. I carry the silence, while you hold the lies — It ain’t easy, my love, when I’m lost in your eyes. Verse 2 You come for the pleasure, you leave me in pain. Every time I see you holding his hand, you pretend I don’t exist. It hurts when you give him a kiss. It ain’t easy, baby — it ain’t easy. Verse 3 You don’t even try to lie, You give me the little finger, then you go to the other guy. You say you don’t love him, but you never leave him — why? He gets a kiss and breakfast, me, a kiss and a guilty goodbye. Chorus 2 It ain’t easy, my love, to live in second place, It ain’t easy, my love, to watch you chase his trace. I carry the silence, while you hold the lies — It ain’t easy, my love, when I’m lost in your eyes. Verse 4 I wanna close the door but you keep knocking, I want you close, but I am the one you’re hiding. We never fight — but you never stay, Your name won’t be next to mine, on any grave. When you get old, I’ll only be a guilty memory, but I’ll be lonely. You’ll still be the guy’s honey, you’ll have his baby, I become something shady, you forget me, But I’ll still be lonely, in my bed, You’re stuck in my head. It won’t be easy, baby — it’s not easy. Outro Chorus (once) It ain’t easy, my love, to live in second place, It ain’t easy, my love, to watch you chase his trace. I carry the silence, while you hold the lies — It ain’t easy, my love, when I fade from your eyes.
