Second Best
by Christopher Bendt (2011)

I held my baby close as she combed her hair
She looked into the glass like I wasn’t there
I never could live up to her strict demands
So she left me in the cold for some other man

Second best just ain’t no fun at all
While couples laugh, I sit and gaze too long
At the end of all this pain, I’ll be better off

Somewhere people sit and they stare at me
Wondering what kind of a man did I use to be
While I sit here wishing I could get up and leave
But the thought of you while I walk makes it hard to breathe

You know that
Second best just ain’t know fun at all
While couples laugh I sit and I gaze too long
At the end of all this pain, I’ll be better off

Bridge

You were always trying to replace me
Cause we were never really meant to be
I pushed you, and you pushed me, and we were scared to death
To be lonely
To be lonely

But
Second best just ain’t know fun at all
While couples laugh I sit and I gaze too long
At the end of all this pain, I’ll be better off
At the end of all this pain I was better off
