Lyrics:

I'm a touch fast, though, I'll be last
To play with a heart from the start, I'll be straight
The second-best boy, unlike the rest, boy
I'll stick around in the house of your mind at the gate

And I never thought they'd get to you
So tell me, have they gotten to you too?
Did you tell 'em what they wanted to know?
Did you show 'em what I wanted to show you?

And it's coming undone, so I run and I run
But there's nowhere left worth running to
And it's hopeless at best, but what do we get?
A sense of regret which feels like nothing new

I'm the white ash from a smokestack
Helplessly floating from embers that create
Troubled at best, boy, another decoy
Tipping my hat to the man fanning the flame

I never thought they could get you to crack
So, tell me how they got me to crack you
Did you really think you could trust
Such a man with a head full of rust too?

As it was coming undone, I could have told you to run
But I searched and I yearned for that pill to get me through
And I'm helpless at best, equal to the rest
I'll always forget not to be blue
