second best Lyrics

It's been going on so long
And now I feel I'm not that strong
Why oh why can't we work things out?
Why do you keep me hanging on?

I don't want to be second best
I don't want to be second best
I just don't want to be second best
Anymore

All the moments we ever shared
Are breaking me in pieces
When I know deep down in my heart
That you love somebody else

For other people, it's a whole day
Spent with each other
But no, not us
Can't you see?
Midnight is our hour

Guess it should be up to me
To make the break with you
I should say that you'd better choose
But I'm just too scared I'll lose

I don't want to be second best
I don't want to be second best
I just don't want to be second best
Anymore

For other people, it's a whole day
Spent with each other
But no, not us
Can't you see?
Midnight is our hour

I don't want to be second best
I don't want to be second best
I just don't want to be second best
Anymore

I don't want to be second best
I don't want to be second best
I just don't want to be second best
Anymore

Just ain't going to be second best
Anymore

And now I feel I'm not that strong
Why oh why can't we work things out?
Why do you keep me hanging on?

I don't want to be second best
I don't want to be second best
I just don't want to be second best

I don't want to be second best
I don't want to be second best
I just don't want to be second best

Just ain't going to be second best

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
