​second love Lyrics by Olivia O’Brien

love & limerence - EP

2024

[Verse 1]
I'll be right here where you left me
'Cause you had to run back to her
I was a ship and you wrecked me
'Cause you felt much safer on the earth

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm the Chrysler, she's the Empire State
Always stuck in second place
Just when I think that I'm winning the race
I realize it was just a chase

[Chorus]
Second love
Not enough
Red ribbon, silver cup
I'll always be the runner-up
(Second love)

[Verse 2]
They said first is the worst and that second's the best
But the heaviest hurt's what you never forget
So no matter how much I can love you to death
It's just never enough to get her out of your head

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm the Chrysler, she's the Empire State
Always stuck in second place

[Chorus]
Second love
Not enough
Red ribbon, silver cup
I'll always be the runner-up
(Second love)

[Bridge]
I'm always the two and I'm never the one
And I'll only get slower the faster I run
'Cause I've already lost at the sound of the gun
You can't forget her, you'll always remember
That I'm good enough, but you know that she's better
You like me for now, but you love her forever

[Pre-Chorus]
Just when I think that I'm winning the race
I realize it was just a chase

[Chorus]
Second love (I'll always be second love)
Not enough (No, I'll never be enough)
Red ribbon, silver cup
I'll always be the runner-up
(Second love)
