If love is like a two-man race, then I'm the guy in second place
Now I oughta learn to live and learn
I don't blame love but I blame you, for my heartbroken point of view
Falling from a bridge you just burned

I got better things to do, better things to do
A better place for me is a hundred miles from you
I got better things to do, better things to do
A better love for me could be anyone but you

They say every dog will have his day, and lonely ain't no place to stay
It's better to have loved than not at all
But words don't keep me warm at night, I need someone to hold me tight
Loving arms to catch me when I fall

I got better things to do, better things to do
A better place for me is a hundred miles from you
I got better things to do, better things to do
A better love for me could be anyone but you

When my heart don't hurt no more, and you come knockin' on my door,
Tempting me to get back in the race
I'll get up on my feet again and leave you like you left me then
You'll see how it feels from second place

I got better things to do, better things to do
A better place for me is a hundred miles from you
I got better things to do, better things to do
A better love for me could be anyone but you
