I never quite seem
To get what I want
I always have to settle
For second best
(at best)
But maybe in this case
Second best isn’t so bad
If I can help you
As much as you’ve helped me
Make it through rough days
Then it’ll all be worth it
If I can be for you
What you’ve been for me
Then who am I to ask for more?
I’ll be grateful for what I’ve been given
And thankful just to be close
And who knows?
Maybe one day I’ll be your second best
And you’ll have to settle, too.
