You’re Number One But We Were Always Number Two

You’re Number One, But We Were Always Number Two

Terrific,
is our relationship
A bit shit,
is what you make of it
Here I stand,
with you my number one,
but, oh man,
to you,
we’re one and done
If this was ever
give and take,
you got away
with all the takeaways
You’re off the charts
and out the top,
but when the penny drops
on me, were not

With all the crap
it took to do
to make a go of us
and see shit through,
you never said it,
but probably you meant to,
you’re number one,
but we were always
number two!
You’re number one,
but we were always
number two!
You’re number one,
but we were always
number two with you!

Not to be a dick,
but our relationship,
down it slips,
and in the wake of it,
is my fear
to you we’re overdone
and, my dear,
our two is only one
And, if you ever
looked at us,
it was always
your end game or bust
Like a rocket ship
at fullest blast,
I’m second stage
and left behind at last

With all the crap
it took to do
to make a go of us
and see shit through,
you never said it,
but probably you meant to,
You’re number one,
but we were always
number two!
You’re number one,
but we were always
number two!
Number one,
but we were always
number two with you!

We’re second best
to all the rest,
second fiddle
to a solo act of you
And, while I hold you
my veriest,
there isn’t
much more I can do
from number two!

My iron faith’s
ridden with rust
Our undying love
has turned to dust
Though my love’s
gone number one,
you know that we’ve gone
number two and done!

With all the crap
it took to do
to make a go of us
and see shit through,
you never said it,
but, probably you meant to,
You’re number one,
but we were always…
If there was anything
I could do or say

to make you feel
and maybe change the way

you feel about us
and say you didn’t mean to
be number one
while we were
always number two
You’re number one,
but we were always
number two!
You’re number one,
but we were always
number two with you!
