First Place Lyrics

I should've known

From the way your eyes would light up when she'd walk into a room

That there was never room for me, but what was I to do

It's kinda sad

How can I be so in love with someone I never had

Long silky hair

A dream in floral dresses, I just can't help but compare

When the two of you start laughing, it's like I'm not even there

So I fake a smile

Pretending I don't notice but I'm dying all the while

Cause how could I compete

When she's so nice and sweet

Can't deny you both got chemistry, mmm

Guess I'm the runner up

Guess I'm your second thought

Called me your favorite but turns out I'm not

And oh it really hurts babe, ooh

I'm never gonna be your first place, ooh, ooh-yeah

She's everything to you

She's perfect as can be

I know that every time you're hanging out with me

You picture her face

I wish I never met you in the first place, ooh, ooh-yeah

Did you forget your lines

You're not following the movie script that I wrote in my mind

Cause according to what's written on the page, you should be mine

But that's not the case

While I'm here home alone, I bet she's over at your place

I really thought you were my soulmate

Didn't realize I was loving you from second place

Bet being with me was practice for the real thing

A warm-up for your feelings

But to me, well it was everything, mmm

Guess I'm the runner up

Guess I'm your second thought

Called me your favorite but turns out I'm not

And oh it really hurts babe, ooh

I'm never gonna be your first place, ooh, ooh-yeah

She's everything to you

She's perfect as can be

I know that every time you're hanging out with me

You picture her face

I wish I never met you in the first place, ooh, ooh-yeah

I get it

You're choosing her instead

Two bodies in your bed

But a third guest living rent free in your head

This is the end

You ask, "can we still be friends?"

But how can I pretend to be a friend of someone

That I never wanna see again

Guess I'm the runner up

Guess I'm your second thought

Called me your favorite but turns out I'm not

And oh it really hurts babe, ooh

I'm never gonna be your first place, ooh, ooh-yeah

She's everything to you

She's perfect as can be

I know that every time you're hanging out with me

You picture her face

I wish I never met you in the first place, ooh, ooh-yeah
