Lyric Video by Sasha Guimaraes

Lyrics:
I’ll never forget how stupid in love I felt
I’ll always regret how I couldn’t ever tell
That you walked a little faster
Left me behind
Kissed me with somebody else in mind
I loved you so much that I settled for less
Oh, you were my everything
I was your second best

Lying awake I’d watch as you’d dream at night
Nightingale singing half hearted lullabies
Well, you swung me around in that mid summer dance
Held me in close as you thought of your past
I love way too much
Oh, this hurts to confess
Oh, you were my everything
I was your second best

You’ve given me nothing to miss
Honestly life has been much better since
I spoke to you last
Why am I still wondering if I stand a chance
Or if you’d have me back?

Everyone warned me you were a bad idea
I never listen
Maybe I will next year
When I’ve walked a little further into my life
Fallen in love and left you behind
But I’m still a little in love with this mess
Oh, you were my everything
I was your second best

Second best

[titanzane]

This one hits RIGHT IN THE FEELS. EXACTLY. WHERE. IT. HURTS… I love you Laufey.

[A_certainUser]

I love this song bc sometimes I wonder if people like me as much as I like them. Not even as a relationship but just as people.

[ordinarybarcode]

[dreck]

I hope in 40-60 years, this becomes ones of the great jazz standards/ballads people remember for a long time 🙏🏼

[wallie]

The lyrics are so well written that it gives me chills...

[dna-]

The nightingale line, why everything must make me remember Good Omens. This song it's justo so painfully GORGEOUS

[Ozzymandius]

Laufey’s voice is like the sun on your back during a brisk fall afternoon.

[juliannet]

I just wanted to be someone’s first choice

[JamJaM___]

Laufey songs feel like sleep washing over you, like cool drinks brushing heat away, pretty flowers that catch your eye on evening walks, glistening rain in the early morning that the light of the street lamps only just reach, and softly sighing against the warming ensconce of a fresh blanket.

“You were my everything, i was your second best” OUCH

[coee]

Lyrics:
I'll never forget how stupid in love I felt
I'll always regret how I couldn't ever tell
That you walked a little faster, left me behind
Kissed me with somebody else in mind
I loved you so much
That I settled for less
Oh, you were my everything
I was your second best, mm
Lying awake, I'd watch as you'd dream at night (dream at night)
Nightingale singing half-hearted lullabies
Well, you swung me around in that midsummer dance
Held me in close as you thought of your past
I love way too much
Oh, this hurts to confess
Oh, you were my everything
I was your second best
You've given me nothing to miss
Honestly, life has been much better since
I spoke to you last
Why am I still wondering
If I stand a chance or if you'd have me back?
Everyone warned me you were a bad idea
I never listen
Maybe I will next year
When I've walked a little further into my life
Fallen in love and left you behind
But I'm still a little in love with this mess
Oh, you were my everything
I'm just your second best
Mm
Second best

He said he admired me, loved me, told me I was beautiful, and still went back to his ex

Listening to the new lyric videos that just got released. Its 4 in the morning for me. Im sitting on my porch, portable speaker and coffee. Heavenly.

[WilsontheStressBall]

This song may not be most people's favorite, but it will always be the song that I hold within my heart, especially because I empathize with these lyrics so much it's not even funny 😭

[iloveanythingfantasy]

I want to feel secure that I’m someone’s first choice or the person they think about when they go to sleep, even just someone they’d like to be around.
