We played the game, stuck by the rules, but we won't be second best no more
I can't justify the things, you said you'd done for me,
But in reality, it's just a way to keep me under your thumb,
I think something's wrong with me, I've gotta set this straight,
Put my mind at ease, and lets stop this time we're wasting.
It's not enough, to be second best while you act like a stranger far from home.
It's not enough, we won't be second best no more, it's not enough.
We played the game, stuck by the rules, but we won't be second best no more,
It's not the same, I'm not born to lose I think it's time we evened out this score,
I never wanted it to be like this, but now I'm feeling so removed,
It's not the same, I'm not born to lose, I think it's time we evened out this.
Once again you're up in arms, telling me I'm no good, not for anyone.
We got close but now we're fading,
Out of sight like the setting sun, in darkness I can't see,
Where this all began. So much time we're fuckin' wasting.
We played the game, stuck by the rules, but we won't be second best no more,
It's not the same, I'm not born to lose I think it's time we evened out this score,
I never wanted it to be like this, but now I'm feeling so removed,
It's not the same, I'm not born to lose, I think it's time we evened out this.
