Second Best

Gotye, Kris Schroeder

[Verse 1]
Second best will be my destiny
I never knew
How I've been blessed with this gift to mess up
Everything I do
Could've been that ain't my thing
I'd win and find my way
But I've been stuck down on my luck
Forever and a day

[Chorus 1]
So you put me to the test
And I'll play this game again, I guess
I kick and crawl, still I stumble and fall
Behind the rest, second best

[Verse 2]
Might've done, that ain't no fun
You'll wonder what went wrong
'Cause I ain't savoured fortune's favour
For I don't know how long
Also ran was not my plan
I'd change if I could choose
Who'd deal a man such lousy hands?
Why am I doomed to lose?

[Chorus 2]
So you ask me once again
And I'll play the hand I have, but then
You kick and crawl 'til I fumble and fall
I give up, you win, could've been

[Interlude]
Ba-doh-da-bup, ba-doh-da-bup
Ba-doh-da-bup, ba
Ba-doh-da-bup, ba-doh-da-bup
Ba-doh-da-bup, boh

[Chorus 1]
So you put me to the test
And I'll play this game again, I guess
I kick and crawl, still I stumble and fall
Behind the rest, second best

[Outro]
(Best)
(Oh yeah)
