I always seem to be second best
There's always someone better
I've been waiting for my time to come
But I'll probably be waiting forever
I always seem to be second best
My dreams so close yet so far
Overtaken by other people's talent
And my heart this seems to scar
I always seem to be second best
It's etching away at my soul
There's been little voices at the back of my head
Their words harsh and cold
I always seem to be second best
Maybe it's all I'll ever be
The one who tried so very hard
The one who failed, that's me.
