How would you feel if you are the second best?
Next to the number one, next to the “big thing”, second option in case.
You don’t matter if the "best" is around
No matter how you excel, you’re always bound.
What would you feel if you are the second option?
Behind the “one” who always has the notion
Being perfect in what he does, no mistakes allowed
Imperfections should not be divulged to the crowd.
I would want to be the “next best thing”
But I prefer to be the one behind the “best” but stings.
Being unseen has given me the advantage
Of not being the one who is always tied in bondage.
Second option would have an instant shield
From blames and criticism that would yield
The “one” would have to face them all
When everything seems to stumble and fall.
