Megan Slankard - Second Best lyrics

I'm being hopelessly optimistic—you're an honest crook

The poor reputation your love gets should make you look

It gets pretty ugly

I'm clearly misunderstood

I'm second best and that's pretty good

I need extra time to see

If those plastic glasses are half full or half empty

It's a sure bet my life's an organized mess

But I'm second best and that's pretty good

I have drawn a

I've drawn a

I've drawn a blank

All those years I was getting old

I can't remember though I must have been told

I was your only one a million times

If you told me once it was a lie

It's after dark

Must be light again

'Twas a near miss

Must have hit 'em

He took everything all that glittered

He said “now then, we mustn't be bitter”

It's a little big, but I guess my dream's okay

I can make it if I start today

We're alone together in this relation

Don't feel real, must be a genuine imitation

I have drawn a

I've drawn a

I've drawn a blank

All those years I was getting old

I can't remember though I must have been told

I was your only one a million times

If you told me once it was a lie

Fuzzy logic, you say, but who really cares

It's an exact estimation everywhere

I didn't realize but it's no good to be mad

I'm second best and that's pretty bad
