Runner Up
Written by VJ Rosales
VERSE 1
You don’t see me like I see you, can we take the blindfold off?
You don’t want me like I want you, I know I’m not enough
PRECHORUS 1
Though it’s plain out of sight, you turn left I turn right
Aint it obvious?
And I know how I feel, I’m just keeping this real
Can you find me?
CHORUS
I know it’s not right, and I know it’s so wrong
To sprint so fast, only to end up last
I’m looking at you, but you’re looking away
He’s all you want, and I’m all he’s not
I’m just runner up, up, up, I’m just runner up
I’m just runner up, up, up, I’m just runner up
VERSE 2
Is there a method to my madness, or am I going insane?
My mind is always going back to you
And it’s you that I blame
PRECHORUS 2
Cause you’re leading me on, and I’m reading you wrong
It’s a game we play
And I’ve already lost and I’m paying the cost
Are you worth my time?
BRIDGE
Even though there are times, when it seems like you give a damn
You end up changing your mind sooner or later you’ll find
That I was never at the finish line
