Dear 2nd Place Why do you follow me around? You always seem to be there Trying to bring me down Dear 2nd Place What did I do to you? I just want something different I want something new No matter where I go No matter what I do You always show up Right on cue You tell me I'm good Just not good enough I'll never be 1st And that feels rough Dear 2nd Place Will you please go away It's getting real hard To try and act okay Dear 2nd Place You've taught me to lose But maybe just for once I'm not who you choose Just give me a chance To be okay with 2nd Place Because 2nd is good It's something I'll embrace Dear 2nd Place
