Silver Lyrics - David Cook

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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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)
