Trust and belief in the future of us
Amounted to nothing with the lack of your love
Wish I could have pulled us through it...
Wish you wanted to pull through it

Memories, they played on for hours and days
The same time it took for your love to deteriorate
If only I had seen it
Oh, I wish I would have seen it

I put you first to only be let down
You said there was love, what do you have to say now
If second best was all that you could see
I never had to prove there was more to me

Pages and pages and pages they turn
Leaving me nothing but something to burn
And if only I could do it
If only I could do it

Smiles and whispers and promises fade
I'm beginning to realize it all was a waste
I didn't think that I could do it...
Didn't think that I would do it

But I've burned these pages of a broken heart
I've silenced your promise of a brand new start
If second best was all that I could be
You'd never be able to see more in me
I put you first to only be let down
You said there was love, what do you have to say now
If second best was all that you could see
I never had to prove there was more in me
