Second String to Your Second Best Lyrics

SO HERE WE ARE WE'RE SO CLOSE BUT, ALL TOO FAR
FAMILIAR BUT NOTHING WE COULD NAME
NOW HERE'S THE SCENE WHERE WE SHOUT AND SCREAM
WE GET TO THE POINT AND WE MUST DEEM
WHO'S TO BLESS AND WHO'S TO BLAME
EVERYTIME YOU TURN AROUND I HEAD STRAIGHT FOR THE DOOR
WELL, I'M NOT LEAVING ANYMORE LOVE'S NOT A f****** POP QUIZ
IT'S A SICK SOBRIETY TEST
WHERE YOU'RE SECOND STRING TO YOUR SECOND BEST
NOT ONE SECOND MORE AS IF WE SAVED THEM FROM BEFORE
BUT, I'D SPEND AN HOUR'S WORTH FOR SPITE OF ANOTHER PLACE,
AND ANOTHER TIME ANOTHER YOURS, ANOTHER MINE ANOTHER
CHANCE TO SAY "GOODNIGHT"

IF IT WASN'T WORTH THE EFFORT THEN WHY DID WE
EVEN TRY? I WAS NEVER ONE TO SAY "GOODBYE"
YOU PUT ON YOUR POKER FACE AND I'LL PLAY CLOSE
TO MY VEST BETTING SECOND STRING TO YOUR
SECOND BEST
(have I ever let you down?)

THE RISE, THE FALL THE HOLES IN THE WALL
SPEAK MY SHAME...
