[Intro — Piano, Soft Strings] [Verse 1] You only call when she won't answer Only knock when she's not home Funny how I'm worth remembering Whenever you're alone You tell me I've been on your mind Like that's supposed to make me smile But I've been reading between the lines For quite a little while [Pre-Chorus] I won't wait At the end of your list For whatever love She didn't give [Chorus] I won't be your second best The girl you call when she forgets The one who's good enough to hold When the one you really want lets go You can keep your second chance Your last-minute Saturday plans If you can't choose me above the rest I won't be your second best [Verse 2] You say it's complicated I think it's simple as can be You're keeping one foot in her doorway And reaching back for me I used to think if I stayed patient One day you'd finally decide But love shouldn't feel like waiting For somebody else's light to die [Pre-Chorus] So don't say You need more time I've wasted enough Giving you mine [Chorus] I won't be your second best The girl you call when she forgets The one who's good enough to hold When the one you really want lets go You can keep your second chance Your last-minute Saturday plans If you can't choose me above the rest I won't be your second best [Instrumental — Sweeping Strings, Piano] [Bridge — Stripped Back] I wanted you That's the hardest part But wanting you Doesn't mean I hand you my heart Whenever hers Isn't around I'd rather leave alone Than wait for you to come around [Drums Build] [Final Chorus — Bigger] I won't be your second best I finally know what I deserve Someone who doesn't have to lose Another girl to put me first You can keep your second chance I'm making other Saturday plans If you couldn't choose me above the rest Then you never had me At my best No... I won't be your second best [Outro — Piano + Strings] Second best... Not anymore.
