[intro]
Ooooo, ooooo
Ooooo, ooooo
Baby I don't care if they stare
I just want you by my side doesn't matter
What they say they don't know us anyway
Ohhh
It's so hard to be someone's number one
So why not be my second best
Baby clean up after yourself you have gone and made a mess
You're lucky to have a girl like me to keep you safe from your foolish self
Ohhh
It's so hard to be someone's number one
So why not be my second best
Girl I can't stand it anymore I cannot face you behind closed doors
Girl you've taken advantage of me all my doubts and insecurities
It's so hard to be someone's number one
So why not be my second best (x2)

Hot Leaves

My baby's got a problem she's always out in the back
Lighting up all the time, sucking down the slime
She's goin' to faraway places spending money she doesn't have
On one of life's many vices a little green plant
I've been known to indulge but not like my baby
She's always smokin' it drives me crazy
I've been known to indulge but not like my baby
She's always smokin' it drives me crazy
[break]
I've been known to indulge but not like my baby
She's always smokin' it drives me crazy
I've been known to indulge but not like my baby
She's always smokin' it drives me crazy
Hot leaves, you got your hot leaves
Hot leaves, you got your hot leaves
Hot leaves you got your hot leaves
Hot leaves you got your very, very, very smoky hot leaves

You've got nothing left to say to me baby but that's alright
But don't try to warn me about things that you don't understand
I'm just tryin' to make you see that you're not for me
Don't you know that it's not your fault I blame myself most of all, oh
When you're sitting around and you're bored to tears
I hope you reflect on all those years
Sittin' alone in my room but I'm not thinkin' of you and if my guess is correct you don't miss me at all
I'm just tryin' to make you see that you're not for me
Don't you know that it's not your fault I blame myself most of all, oh
When you're sitting around and you're bored to tears
I hope you reflect on all those years
[break]
When you're sitting around and you're bored to tears
I hope you reflect on all those years
When you're sitting around (sitting around)
And you're bored to tears (bored to tears)
I hope you reflect on all those all years

It's 3 o'clock in the morning my heart is already soaring but not on the wings of love or pleasure for the things in the dark are what I treasure
My chest is a thumping metronome I never truly feel at home no matter where my mind wanders the aching in my soul still lingers
But who cares anyway my feet fell asleep
Red eyes and jumbled sheets are the only things I've ever known
My bathroom mirror won't offer clarity I slowly drift into insanity the world moves in and out of focus, I ponder how I'm your magnum opus
That's not possible for anyone all I do is shock and stun because I'm too mundane
But who cares anyway my feet fell asleep
Red eyes and jumbled sheets are the only things I've ever known

[sappy overly long piano intro]
Would you even know what I look like if you walked into the bar tonight I would freeze in my seat, but I can learn to love myself again
Now I'm walking around town and you've crossed my mind again
I'll never let it go what we could've had
The push and pull of it I'd take a bullet for you my dear but we're still around
When everyone else moved out and I can kiss you breathlessly but I'll still cry when leave
You don't know how beautiful you are, don't even have to try
Is it worth it in the end, standing on the backs of those we built up and up
Then left alone
The push and pull of it I'd take a bullet for you my dear but we're still around
When everyone else moved out and I can kiss you breathlessly but I'll still cry when leave
Now you're coming around again driving in your car without me next to you
And it hurts to know you don't need me I'm replacable and disposable
Unkind and deplorable
Now you're coming around again driving in your car without me next to you
And it hurts to know you don't need me I'm replacable and disposable
Unkind and deplorable
