Second to You - Thomston

I was your backbone

You were a dead weight

You spoke a language

I couldn’t translate

I was your stronghold

That place you’d run to

Bask in your glory, reflections in the swimming pool

In spite of every tribute that I paid

And every hour that I gave ya

Drained my mind and use it in place

To take another step up that ladder

And even though I put you first

(I'm always second to you. I’m always second to you.)

And oh I’ve seen you at your worst

(I'm always second to you. I’m always second to you.)

And even though I’ll put you first

(I'm always second to you.)

And oh I’ve seen you at your worst

(I'm always second to you. I’m always second to you.)

I was your first aid

Just like your next of kin

All of your problems

That I inherited

They made me heavy

I should have cared less

You wouldn’t notice but you’re self-obsessed

In spite of every mile that I walked

And every lonely weekday evening

You found a way to keep me hanging on

Even though you were so self-serving

And even though I put you first

(I'm always second to you. I’m always second to you.)

Oh I’ve seen you at your worst

(I'm always second to you. I’m always second to you)

Oh and even though I put you first

(I'm always second to you.)

Oh I’ve see you at your worst

(I'm always second to you. I’m always second to you)

Your worth is frail

I’d hate for it to break

Holding you together

It was my first mistake

Your worth is frail

I’d hate for it to break

Holding you together

Never again

(I'm always second to you. I’m always second to you. I’m always second to you.

I’m always second to you)

Ohhh

And even though I put you first

(I'm always second to you.)

Oh I’ve seen you at your worst

(I'm always second to you. I’m always second to you.)
