Second Place letra

I saw your eyes check your phone mid-convo (yeah)
Screen light glow like I don't exist though
You say you're mine but your body on autopilot
Kiss me slow, but your mind go silent

I came in halfway through your movie (too late)
He wrote the script, now you acting through me
Every touch like a scene you already played
I'm in your arms but I'm fighting his face

I ain't the type to compete for attention
But I felt myself losing position
You moved the line every time I got close
Had me running races you already chose

Yeah, I know what this is (I do)
I'm just fixing what he did
You look at me, but you see him
I'm just filling space in your late nights

I showed up late, that's the truth (too late)
But I won't lose myself chasing you

Too late, too late (nah)
You want me, but you don't love me right
Too late, too late (yeah)
I was real, you were stuck in yesterday

Say his name, slip again (who?)
Every time you under me
Too late, too late
I won't live in second place

You text me back but your location's off (off)
Online at 2, then you play it off
I learned your patterns, I read between the lines you typed
You still got history haunting your screen

I was the bridge from his goodbye
You crossed through me just to feel alright
You don't want me, you want relief
I was your cure, not your peace

I held it down but I felt the shift
Love don't land when the heart's still sick
If I gotta force it, it ain't legit
I won't be your temporary fix

Yeah, I know what this is (I do)
I'm just fixing what he did
You look at me, but you see him
I'm just filling space in your late nights

I showed up late, that's the truth
But I won't lose myself chasing you

Too late, too late (nah)
You want me, but you don't love me right
Too late, too late (yeah)
I was real, you were stuck in yesterday

Say his name, slip again (who?)
Every time you under me
Too late, too late
I won't live in second place

I don't hate you, I hate that I tried
Building something where he still resides
You weren't ready, and neither was I
I just wanted it more, that's my crime

Now I see it for what it was
I was present, you were looking for rush
Temporary high, just a phase
I was real, you were lost in his maze

Too late, too late (nah)
You want me
But you don't have the right to love me
Too late, too late (yeah)
I won't stay where I feel replaced

Say his name, one last time (go)
Just to prove what I already knew
Too late, too late
I was never second, I was just new
