Let's get it (out?)

I think it's been too long
For this to all go wrong
You lost but thought you'd win
I won't try this again

You played yourself in front of me
To save yourself some dignity
And if you die before you should
At least you know that you'll look good

So tell me how's the rest
I'm fine with second best
It's all that I can say
Not coming back this way

For all the kids you say you hate
But now you say it's only fate
So if you die before you wake
I pray the Lord do not look fake

You'll never be ready for me
You'll never be ready for me

So this is how it ends
Redefine all your friends
It doesn't have to be
This way for you or me

You played yourself in front of me
To save yourself some dignity
If you die before you should
At least you know that'll you'll look good

You'll never be ready for me
You'll never be ready for me
