Number 2

Yeah, let me tell you How this story goes Uh huh, true story This is a song about being number 2 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 2 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 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 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
