(Though I'm only second best you're still first with me)

I tried to make you love me I've done everything I could
I thought if I tried long enough maybe someday that you would
But there was someone else before me and it's her you're loving still
And I know no matter what I do I'm only second best

Only second best, that's all I will ever be
Even though I'm second best, you're still first with me
And I'll be loving you when they fall my hands I guess
I love you even though I know I'm only second best

I know you've tried to love me and I'd hoped you would in time
I know that when you're holding me, it's her that's on your mind
Now I know you can't get over her but I love you nonetheless
But it makes no difference what I do, I'm only second best

Only second best, that's all I will ever be
Even though I'm second best, you're still first with me
But I'll still be loving you when they fold my hands, I guess
I love you even though I know I'm only second best
I love you even though I know I'm only second best
