Scenery is nothing more than poetry.
Love is nothing more than chemicals.
'Cause fairy tales are just scribbled pages filled with happy endings and little white lies.
One person can make a difference, but a crowd can make a change.


You pay more attention to your friends than you do me,
I just want a few minutes of your time.
Can't you notice you're slowly losing me?
Soon enough, I won't be yours and you won't be mine.
I make plans you can never attend,
I guess that's okay?
I call you just to talk,
But you seem to be always busy and have nothing to say.
It's been this way from the start,
Can't think of a time when it was not.
I've never been your main priority,
Even though you've been mine a lot.
Second, that's all I have ever been,
Never am first, never could win.
I put everything aside, I skip plans I already had,
I'm still placed in the back and that makes me sad.
I probably shouldn't, but I think I have wasted three years,
Because nobody else has ever given me tears.
And it'll be a tragedy if we end,
But I'd rather be nothing at all than be placed second.
How's it gonna be?
I can't go through this every day.
I'm always holding back,
I never spit out words I want to say.
Do you remember all those times,
Where I wasn't placed last?
I'm thinking with time and effort,
We could reclaim that past.
Second, that's all I have ever been,
Never am first, never could win.
I put everything aside, I skip plans I already had,
I'm still placed in the back and that makes me sad.
I probably shouldn't, but I think I have wasted three years,
Because nobody else has ever given me tears.
And it'll be a tragedy if we end,
But I'd rather be nothing at all than be placed second.
Spoken, never heard,
Shrug me off all the time.
Thought I was your everything?
You're drawing the line.
I won't stay, not a chance,
If this turns out to be the case.
It's not like you ever pay attention,
To you; I'm just another face.
Second, that's all I have ever been,
Never am first, never could win.
I put everything aside, I skip plans I already had,
I'm still placed in the back and that makes me sad.
I probably shouldn't, but I think I have wasted three years,
Because nobody else has ever given me tears.
And it'll be a tragedy if we end,
But I'd rather be nothing at all than be placed second...
