Lyrics Second to You - Thomston

Second to You

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.)
