(verse 1)

(verse 1) Nobody likes to be second best And it hurts that you make it obvious That I don't come close to being first. Give me just enough attention To keep me craving your affection Then disappear without a word. (Pre chorus) Do you ever stop to think about me? Or is gold what's keeping you busy? (Chorus) You chase the shine, I fade away I’m what you keep for rainy days You only love me when you lose I’m the safe bet you don’t choose Every day I’m losing ground I stay quiet so you stay around Maybe second place is where I fit Still I don’t know how to quit Go for gold, I won’t compete I’ll wear silver just to keep the peace (Verse 2) I convince myself this is all I'll be That I should be thankful you see me Some people just aren't meant to win I try to give you it all But you're just insatiable Will your heart ever be full enough (Pre chorus) Do you ever stop to think about me? Or is gold what's keeping you busy? (Chorus) You chase the shine, I fade away I’m what you keep for rainy days You only love me when you lose I’m the safe bet you don’t choose Every day I’m losing ground I stay quiet so you stay around Maybe second place is where I fit Still I don’t know how to quit Go for gold, I won’t compete I’ll wear silver just to keep the peace (Bridge) Tell me, if I go silent Would you hear the difference? If I wasn’t right beside you Would you feel the distance? Silver doesn’t mean I’m less It means I gave my best And one day when you lose again You’ll wish I’d loved you then (Pre chorus) Do you ever stop to think about me? Or is gold what's keeping you busy? (Chorus) You chase the shine, I fade away I’m what you keep for rainy days You only love me when you lose I’m the safe bet you don’t choose Every day I’m losing ground I stay quiet so you stay around Maybe second place is where I fit Still I don’t know how to quit Go for gold, I won’t compete I’ll wear silver just to keep the peace
