Second Best

I put you on a pedestal when I we first met years ago

I told myself that we would be friends forever

I was the one who kept our friendship going

It was always about you, not me, never

Pre Chorus

When you called me up I was always there

When you wanted to meet I simply said “Where?”

Chorus

I was always at your beck and call

Right there when you needed me most

Your other friends would come and go

Leaving you an emotional mess

I was there to pick up the pieces

But you always treated me as second best

I wouldn’t see you while you played the field

Making new friends along the way

It hurt that you never wanted to include me

People asked why did I stay

Pre Chorus

Loyalty means nothing to you and now I’ve moved on

Like the saying ‘You never know what you’ve got till it’s gone

Chorus

I was always at your beck and call

Right there when you needed me most

Your other friends would come and go

Leaving you an emotional mess

I was there to pick up the pieces

But you always treated me as second best

Bridge

And now suddenly I’ve seen the errors of your ways

You’ll miss me when you call me on the rainy days

Chorus

I was always at your beck and call

Right there when you needed me most

Your other friends would come and go

Leaving you an emotional mess

I was there to pick up the pieces

But you always treated me as second best
