Practice my breathing when I'm with you
Hoping you'll notice all I can do
It's never too much, no not for you
And I can't believe I've wasted all this time
Standing right here on the finish line
Hoping to get what I thought was mine
I'm tired of coming in 2nd place
I'm tired of never winning your race
I'm tired of coming in 2nd place
2nd place in your heart
Training myself to keep up with your time
Hoping you'll let me inside your mind
But I've been denied about 1,000 times
Said to myself that I would try again
Start taking my time and maybe I would win
Cause I won't let this be the end
I'm tired of coming in 2nd place
I'm tired of never winning your race
I'm tired of coming in 2nd place
2nd place in your heart
It shouldn't matter my style or pace
I wish my love for you I could erase
But I guess I'll always be 2nd place
2nd place in your heart
