I've been told, I've been told time and time again
You'll never be good enough
It's getting old, getting old, now I've got a plan
So try and stop me, I wish you the best of luck

I've been stuck in this rut for far too long
And I've only got myself to blame
Cause wishful thinking only gets me so far
And now it's time to make a change

It's only up from here
It's time to come alive again

Don't lift me up for just another letdown
Second best won't work this time around
Looking for something that can never be found
I'll cut my losses and leave this town
Second best won't work this time around
Don't lift me up for just another letdown

When it comes to fighting there's a time and there's a place for that
Compromise seems overrated
Feels like I'm writing out of spite but I'm okay with that
Just a reminder of the times I hated

I've been stuck in this rut for far too long
And I've only got myself to blame
But I believe that this will take me so far
Things will never be the same
Things will never be the same
Things will never be the same

Don't lift me up for just another letdown
Second best won't work this time around
Looking for something that can never be found
I'll cut my losses and leave this town
Second best won't work this time around
Don't lift me up for just another letdown

Running in circles is killing me
But for the first time I truly believe
In something bigger, something better
There's gotta be something more
There's gotta be something more

Running in circles is killing me
But for the first time I truly believe
In something bigger, something better
There's gotta be something more

Don't lift me up for just another letdown
Second best won't work this time around
Looking for something that can never be found
I'll cut my losses and leave this town
Second best won't work this time around
Don't lift me up I'm just another letdown
Don't lift me up I'm just another letdown
Don't lift me up I'm just another letdown
