[Intro]
I think that I'm just second best
I think that I'm just second best
Alive is all I am
Alive is all I am
[Verse 1]
The pain is too surreal, but I'm far from numb
Nothing can explain the way I feel (So I run)
Breaking down to save myself
Like all my friends, I burn my lips
On cigarettes 'cause I refuse to let them end
[Pre-Chorus]
You say it gets better
But I don't wanna hear it
Wanna learn the hard way
[Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Go bother somebody else
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
And let me live in my hell
The last thing I need
Is for someone to walk out on me
I think that I'm just second best
I think that I'm just second best
[Verse 2]
When enough's enough
I swear I'll let you know
Right now the best thing for me
Is to fight on my own
[Pre-Chorus]
You say it gets better
But I don't wanna hear it
Wanna learn the hard way
[Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Go bother somebody else
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
And let me live in my hell
The last thing I need
Is for someone to walk out on me
Sometimes I wanna get lost
Just listen to Citizen
And be pissed off 'cause
The last thing I need
Is for someone to walk out on me
[Bridge]
(I think that I'm just second best)
(I think that I'm just second best)
(I think that I'm just second best)
(I think that I'm just second best)
(I think that I'm just second best)
(I think that I'm just second best)
(Alive is all I am)
(Alive is all I am)
I think that I'm just second best
I think that I'm just second best
Alive is all I am
Alive is all I am
I think that I'm just second best
Alive is all I am
Alive is all I am
[Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Go bother somebody else
And let me live in my hell
The last thing I need
Is for someone to walk out on me
Sometimes I wanna get lost
Just listen to Citizen
And be pissed off 'cause
The last thing I need
Is for someone to walk out on me

Tyler Carter commented on an interview:
Well, I wrote that song with this girl Francheska Pastor. She sang for this band Bad Seed Rising and they were kind of like a kid punk band, I think she was like 18 when we hit this song. I kind of had this vision for this song to be about being a teenager, f...
