I'm being hopelessly optimistic The poor reputation your love gets should make you look It gets pretty ugly I'm clearly misunderstood I'm second best and that's pretty good I need extra time to see If those plastic gla**es are half full or half empty It's a sure bet my life's an organized mess But I'm second best and that's pretty good I have drawn a I've drawn a I've drawn a blank All those years I was getting old I can't remember though I must have been told I was your only one a million times If you told me once it was a lie It's after dark Must be light again 'Twas a near miss
Must have hit 'em He took everything all that glittered He said It's a little big, but I guess my dream's okay I can make it if I start today We're alone together in this relation Don't feel real, must be a genuine imitation I have drawn a I've drawn a I've drawn a blank All those years I was getting old I can't remember though I must have been told I was your only one a million times If you told me once it was a lie Fuzzy logic, you say, but who really cares It's an exact estimation everywhere I didn't realize but it's no good to be mad I'm second best and that's pretty bad
