Second Rate Love

Everything you know about me

It might as well fade away

You keep assuming you know how it is

If we take it right back to one

When I was your mystery

Everything was new and we used to dream

We had something dangerous

Stronger, more than enough

Too tough to break

And now you're throwing it all away

I don't wanna let you go

But I don't wanna make do anymore

Baby if it means that I gotta settle

For a second-rate love

And I don't wanna go to war

Try to make you stay if you don't wanna

It's not much to want for something more

Than a second-rate love

Even through the hardest times

I would take the fall for you

When everyone would tell me

I'm worth more than this

Walking blindfolded with my hands bound

By a love no good for me

Lost and with no sense of what is real

We had something dangerous

Stronger, more than enough

Too tough to break

And now you're throwing it all away

I don't wanna let you go

But I don't wanna make do anymore

Baby if it means that I gotta settle

For a second-rate love

And I don't wanna go to war

Try to make you stay if you don't wanna

It's not much to want for something more

Than a second-rate love

And I can't believe it

After all that is said and done

You would play these foolish games with my heart

That wasn't really what I gave my life for

I don't wanna let you go

But I don't wanna make do anymore

Baby if it means that I gotta settle

For a second-rate love

And I don't wanna go to war

Try to make you stay if you don't wanna

It's not much to want for something more

Than a second-rate love

Than a second-rate love

Than a second-rate love
