Second Favorite Memory

You're a picture in a shoebox on the bottom shelf
I used to think you knew me better than I knew myself
The color slightly faded, the edges slightly frayed
The moment's long, long gone now but the memories have stayed
Some are worth a thousand words, this one's worth just three
Your voice still echoes in my head from when
You swore that you loved me

My heart's been broke so many times
I'm surprised that it still beats
But I can say I've lived and I've learned
Better learn to swim
'Cause that ship's already sailed
Tried to tame the sun and wound up getting burned
When the best of times turnout to be the worst
You're my second favorite memory
All the rest are tied for first

A bit too much, a bit too soon, now it's just too late
Left me feeling something I could not articulate
No time to smell the roses before they up and died
But I couldn't keep the thorns out of my side
You were a sight for sore eyes but it I looked a bit too long
I suppose we've all got the right to be wrong

My heart's been broke so many times
I'm surprised that it still beats
But I can say I've lived and I've learned
Better learn to swim
'Cause that ship's already sailed
Tried to tame the sun and wound up getting burned
When a blessing suddenly becomes a curse
You're my second favorite memory
All the rest are tied for first

I always said it wasn't you but that was just a lie
I suppose it might've been me too but at least I tried
You wrote the part now you have to play the role
No reparations made for all the minutes that you stole
You burned down every bridge, just the ashes left behind
That ain't my kind of kind

My heart's been broke so many times
I'm surprised that it still beats
But I can say I've lived and I've learned
Better learn to swim
'Cause that ship's already sailed
Tried to tame the sun and wound up getting burned
Just stop right there and nobody else gets hurt
You're my second favorite memory
All the rest are tied for first
