Second Best Lyrics - Megan Slankard

I'm being hopelessly optimisticyou'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
