And always coming second
I hate trying to be the best
And always thinking of what should be next
I hate having to choose between two
And making a decision too
I hate the promises made to be broken
And the secrets that can never be spoken
I hate changing to someone I don’t know
And people telling me what to do
I hate the words I can’t say
And when I have to walk away
