D-DU-UDU
 When writing your history,
  I will always  be a footnote
 A distant memory
  A warning sign  of mistakes  made
  The  kind that you learn from
 This song is the best  of me
  Taking pills  for solemn motive
  A better side of me, an open mind
  For mistakes  made
  The  kind that you burn from
 So take  this small confession as my price  to pay
 I've never been the kind to let go
 But  before you up and walk away
 I'm miserable without you, you know
 This silver  leaves me longing for gold
 Second place has never carried me home
 Second place has never carried me home
 (same as 1st verse)
 This song is so out of key
 I'm trying harder just to even
 These memories of you
 A warning sign of regression
 The kind you never learn from
 This song is the melody
 Meant to show you a little more than
 A better history, an open sky
 Of redemption
 The kind you always burn from
 So take  this small confession as my price  to pay
 I've never been the kind to let go
 But  before you up and walk away
 I'm miserable without you, you know
 This silver  leaves me longing for gold
 Second place has never carried me home
 Second place has never carried me home (home, home, home, home)
 It never carried me (home, home, home, home)
