Always a step behind.
Never a moment ahead.
Wish there was something to find.
I'm never the leader, only the lead.

Never in the right place.
And always at the wrong time.
Hard for anyone to know my face.
When I'm at the end of the line.

I'd like to reap the benefits.
But never sow the seeds.
Feels like my shoes never fit.
Always crushed by my own needs.

Never going to get anywhere.
Except when I reach the end.
No one said life was ever fair.
Or that broken hearts ever mend.

I'm never one to embrace love.
Always the heart unknown.
And when push comes to shove,
I'm always sitting here alone.

I'm always the second fiddle.
Last in all I try to do.
The rotten core at the middle.
I'll never be good enough to play with you.
