[Verse 1]
It’s cold, it’s supposed to be
The night has got a hold of me
I hurt, but enough of me
You glow, glow for all to see

[Pre-Chorus 1]
This is what I do, this is who I am
At the park at four am, drinking beer out of a can
Wishing I could understand what it takes to be a man

[Chorus 1]
I realized I’m a natural second best
And whatever is against me I’ll appear as something less

[Verse 2]
So hold, grab a hold of me
I know, you are in control of me
It’s dark like it’s supposed to be
But you glow, please just glow for me

[Pre-Chorus 2]
This is what I do, this is who I am
Praying for the strength to try, wiping tears out of my eyes
Watching chances pass me by as romance behind it dies
[Chorus 2]
I realized I’m a natural second best
And whatever is against me, I’ll appear as something less
I've come to grips with the fact that I'm depressed
And whatever's in front of me I'll see as something less

[Bridge]
And the sad thing is that I've never been better
And the sad thing is that I've never been better
But if you look at the facts, you know I've never been better

[Chorus 2]
I realized I’m a natural second best
And whatever is against me, I’ll appear as something less
I've come to grips with the fact that I'm depressed
And whatever's in front of me I'll see as something less
