Lyric Video by Sasha Guimaraes
Lyrics:
I’ll never forget how stupid in love I felt
I’ll always regret how I couldn’t ever tell
That you walked a little faster
Left me behind
Kissed me with somebody else in mind
I loved you so much that I settled for less
Oh, you were my everything
I was your second best
Lying awake I’d watch as you’d dream at night
Nightingale singing half hearted lullabies
Well, you swung me around in that mid summer dance
Held me in close as you thought of your past
I love way too much
Oh, this hurts to confess
Oh, you were my everything
I was your second best
You’ve given me nothing to miss
Honestly life has been much better since
I spoke to you last
Why am I still wondering if I stand a chance
Or if you’d have me back?
Everyone warned me you were a bad idea
I never listen
Maybe I will next year
When I’ve walked a little further into my life
Fallen in love and left you behind
But I’m still a little in love with this mess
Oh, you were my everything
I was your second best
Second best

Listening to this audio can provide numerous benefits for both mental and physical well-being. The carefully designed soundscape promotes parasympathetic nervous system activation, helping the body shift from 'fight or flight' mode into 'rest and digest' mode. Regular listening can help establish healthy relaxation habits and improve overall stress management. For sleep specifically, this audio helps quiet an overactive mind and create consistent conditions for rest.
The science of sound therapy draws from multiple disciplines: psychology, neuroscience, and acoustic ecology. Research consistently shows that ambient sounds can modulate autonomic nervous system activity, shifting the body from stress response (sympathetic activation) toward relaxation response (parasympathetic activation). This occurs through multiple pathways: masking of disruptive environmental sounds, providing gentle cognitive engagement that prevents anxious rumination, and creating predictable soundscapes that signal safety to primitive brain regions. Regular exposure to relaxing audio can help establish positive feedback loops where the brain learns to associate certain sounds with calm states.
