she’s never said it, not to me
but it’s there, in those eyes looking so mysterious
and guess what? i’m not sure i can keep on pretending
why can i still see it?
and it’s simple, too simple
but i’ve won
just not at the game you play so hard at
i’ve won the game of second-best
nowadays i feel as if i’m floating
i don’t want to, i haven’t wanted to
you’ve turned out to be the person i don’t want to know
why can i still see it?
and it’s simple, too simple
but i’ve won
just not at the game you play so hard at
i’ve won the game of second-best
there’s a question i’ve got for you
and you’ll lie about the answer
and your words seem smeared across my walls
why can i still see it?
and it’s simple, too simple
but i’ve won
just not at the game you play so hard at
i’ve won the game of second-best
