Second Best

(Verse 1)
She is doing sports and I‘m a lazy 
While she is loved, people call me crazy 
She is always dressed up, 
while I‘m having trouble with my make up. 
She is smart and I‘m a loser,
People will always choose her. 
I guess I was made for this,
The girl no one will even miss. 

(Pre Chorus)
And I’m screaming in my head,
Why can’t I be her instead?
Every mirror makes me hate me more,
I don’t even know what I’m fighting for.

(Refrain)
Cause she’s everything I’ll never be,
Perfect smile on every screen.
And I’m stuck here, breaking down,
While she’s wearing the golden crown.
Yeah, she’s the star, I’m just the mess,
Guess I’ll always be second best.

(Verse 2)
She walks in and the room lights up,
While I’m invisible, it’s not enough.
Every laugh she gets, it cuts like glass,
I’m just a shadow she walks past.
She’s the dream they all believe,
I’m the ghost they’ll never see.

(Pre Chorus)
And I’m screaming in my head,
Why can’t I be her instead?
Every mirror makes me hate me more,
I don’t even know what I’m fighting for.

(Refrain)
Cause she’s everything I’ll never be,
Perfect smile on every screen.
And I’m stuck here, breaking down,
While she’s wearing the golden crown.
Yeah, she’s the star, I’m just the mess,
Guess I’ll always be second best.

(Bridge)
Maybe someday I’ll be fine,
Stop wishing I could live her life.
But tonight it’s killing me,
To know I’ll never measure up to who she’ll always be.

(Refrain)
Cause she’s everything I’ll never be,
Perfect smile on every screen.
And I’m stuck here, breaking down,
While she’s wearing the golden crown.
Yeah, she’s the star, I’m just the mess,
Guess I’ll always be second best.

Cause she’s everything I’ll never be,
Perfect smile on every screen.
And I’m stuck here, breaking down,
While she’s wearing the golden crown.
Yeah, she’s the star, I’m just the mess,
Guess I’ll always be second best.

Guess I‘ll always be second best.
