When writing your history,
I will always be a footnote
A distant memory
A warning sign of mistakes made
The kind that you learn from
This song is the best of me
Taking pills for solemn motive
A better side of me, an open mind
For mistakes made
The kind that you burn from
So take this small confession as my price to pay
I've never been the kind to let go
But before you up and walk away
I'm miserable without you, you know
This silver leaves me longing for gold
Second place has never carried me home
Second place has never carried me home
This song is so out of key
I'm trying harder just to even
These memories of you
A warning sign of regression
The kind you never learn from
This song is the melody
Meant to show you a little more than
A better history, an open sky
Of redemption
The kind you always burn from
So take this small confession as my price to pay
I've never been the kind to let go
But before you up and walk away
I'm miserable without you, you know
This silver leaves me burning for gold
Second place has never carried me home
Second place has never carried me (home, home, home, home)
It never carried me (home, home, home, home)
Yeah, probably this is a sad song, but I don't wanna see it like that.
This is a story about two people. He has hurt her by being "the worse side" of her and being the villain in their relationship (for example he didin't give enough time for her and her needs and he didn't seem to care enough; it doesn't necessarily mean he did something, I think it's about he DIDN'T do something). So, the girl got fed up, decided that he wasn't what she needed, but now when she has made him just another friend of hers he realizes he wants her back. "This silver leaves me longing for gold"; he doesn't want just stay watching her and spendin' good time with her, he wants their former relationship back and he hopes she can give him another shot. He sings "I'm miserable without you you know" and "I'm never been the kind to let go", so he can't move on without her by his side. He knows that he's not perfect, he knows he's the worse of them two, but still he is trying to fix things by this song.
I'd like to believe that she is the one who made the mistakes to learn from and burn from, that she broke his heart and left him in second place. Maybe so, you either do the hurting or are the one that gets hurt. That's life. It really doesn't matter who did what. You win some, you lose some.
I think this means he came in second place, silver, instead of first place, gold because of mistakes made that he wishes he could take back but he can't. Although he learned from the mistakes he lost what he wanted. Its too late and the one he loves has chosen someone else and there is nothing he can do about it. He can't go back.
I think that this means no matter how hard you try, silver can never be gold. Gold can be bigger than silver which is why you have to let go. That person loves someone else and not you and wants you to be someone you're not.
