I'm tired of compromise
And you're tired of apologising to me
Why can't you get it right?
Stood in the light but you struggle to see
Oh, I won't stand for second best
And you're tired of apologising to me

This could be love but you're fucking it up
And you're making it so hard to stay
And I won't stick around if you're bringing me down
And you're breaking my heart everyday

Oh, stay, stay
You're making it so hard
You're making it so hard
To stay, stay
You're making it so hard to stay

You keep on falling short
Or maybe I'm just asking too much of you?
I keep on getting caught
Or maybe it's just that I'm destined to lose
Oh, I won't stand for second best
Or maybe I'm asking too much of you?

This could be love but you're fucking it up
And you're making it so hard to stay
And I won't stick around if you're bringing me down
And you're breaking my heart everyday

Oh, stay, stay
You're making it so hard
You're making it so hard
To stay, stay
You're making it so hard to stay

This could be love 'cause you felt like the one
But maybe I felt something else?
'Cause we got so close but we'll never know
It's a shame but some things you can't help

Oh, this could be love but you're fucking it up
And you're making it so hard to stay
And I won't stick around if you're bringing me down
And you're breaking my heart everyday

Oh, stay, stay
You're making it so hard
You're making it so hard
To stay, stay
You're making it so hard
You're making it so hard
