lyrics

You can't save me from the pains I put on myself
The tiny tensions spark
A never ending war between myself and you
Won't help me out

It's sink or swim
In this water we're drowning in
I'll find a way to capture this moment
To see what's important
When you say there isn't

I see nothing wrong with being second best
And I'll scream it from my chest
Until you see what I see

I see nothing wrong with being second best
And I'll scream it from my chest
Until you see what I see

Don't expect me to give you my sympathy
This situation is killing me
We're in a place full of disarray
YEAH

Your facade is hiding what you've got underneath
Your smiling, but surely you're struggling to breath
But I know, I know that you see the brighter days
See the hope in everything, trust me

It's sink or swim
In this water we're drowning in
I'll find a way to capture this moment
To see what's important
When you say there isn't

I see nothing wrong with being second best
And I'll scream it from my chest
Until you see what I see

I see nothing wrong with being second best
And I'll scream it from my chest
Until you see what I see

I see nothing wrong with being second best
And I'll scream it from my chest
Until you see what I see x2
