Number 2

Yeah, let me tell you how this story goes, uh huh, true story
 This is a song about being number two
 Couldn't be number one, yeah it fell through
 I was not for you and you not for me
 Everything doesn't have a storybook ending
 Once upon a time isn't that how the stories go
 But this is real life ain't no fairytale so
 You can close the book and put it back up on the shelf
 Cuz see that's what I did when I left
 But now it's years later and you're trying to connect with me
 I thought we were done with the closure what else do you need
 Because I recall that you said if you ever got engaged
 You wouldn't contact me, you remember that? Uh yeah, ok?
 I know you're just being nosey
 Hoping you're not missing anything
 But now I hope you see,
 I'm not thinking about you, mind only on making moves
 I want you, to go with, her and walk down that aisle
 No questions, no objections, go live your new life now
 You ain't missing nothing, over here, let's make that clear
 I don't care, about what you, got going I'm so sincere
 This is a song about being number two
 Couldn't be number one, yeah it fell through
 I was not for you and you not for me
 Everything doesn't have a storybook ending
 Happily ever after ain't that how the stories end
 But instead you're saving, a different princess
 I don't care if you said it out of anger, out of spite
 But what you told me stuck with me that night
 You said the only reason that I must still be here
 Because of who'd you be in the future but let me make this clear
 You had nothing, still have nothing that I want
 See that's why we couldn't be, I don't need saving
 You can just admit
 You were hoping you dodged a bullet
 But now I hope you see, the only one who dodged anything is me
 I don't need you to swing this way
 Go on with her, live out all your days
 It ain't nothing for you here
 Oh it's clear
 Livin', vibin', free
 I'm just doin' me
 Gone and leave me be
 And I didn't care then
 And I don't care now
 I'm so sincere, wow
 Send me your registry
 I'll send you a wedding gift
 I'm being so serious
 I'm not delirious
 But she is though
 She'll find out
 Yeah ya know
