[Verse 1]
I'm looking right through you
You're looking at the ground
I wonder where you are
You wonder where she is now
Been wishing it was different more times than I can count
Keep saying that it's nothing, but it's all I cry about
I don't think I deserve it
That's why, that's why it really hurts 'cause
[Chorus]
I hate that she's the first and I'm the last
Feels like I'm always coming second best
I guess she got up in your head so bad
And now I'm just your brokenhearted punching bag
I know that it shouldn't be easy
But it doesn't have to be this hard
I know that it shouldn't be easy
[Verse 2]
Keep trying to deny it
I guess that I am too
Feels like we're only fighting 'cause it's what we should do
We're talking in circles
It's getting us no where
I guess 'cause she's still there
I can't change it
[Chorus]
I hate that she's the first and I'm the last
Feels like I'm always coming second best
I guess she got up in your head so bad
And now I'm just your brokenhearted punching bag
I know that it shouldn't be easy
But it doesn't have to be this hard
I know that it shouldn't be easy
[Bridge]
I bend, and I bleed, and I break in too
I sacrifice myself to be with you
Keep trying to fix what I can't undo
I guess you can't cut the old version of me loose
[Chorus]
I hate that she's the first and I'm the last
Feels like I'm always coming second best
I guess she got up in your head so bad
And now I'm just your brokenhearted punching bag
I know that it shouldn't be easy
But maybe that's just who we are (maybe that's just who we are)
I know that it shouldn't be easy
But it doesn't have to be this hard
No, it doesn't have to be this hard
