Bailey Spinn - runner up Lyrics

Bailey Spinn Lyrics

"runner up"

I'm a lover, I'm a sucker
I give my all then I get hurt
We hang out and it's all great 'til
You're replacing me with her
I give a hundred, I get nothin'
The disappointment, so soul crushin'
"A" for effort, but I'm the expert
At never, ever coming first

All this time and energy
One step away from victory

Why's it feel like I'm never enough?
Poster child of sucking it up
I walk in and everyone runs
Gold star loser, punch to the gut
Kick me down, I'm stuck in the mud
Always close but never the one
I'm just another runner up

Hello diary, not surprising
I got fucked over again
I'm second string now, don't feel a thing now
I'm the backup, last-call friend
I'm in the corner, your benchwarmer
Sub me out in the last quarter
This is stupid, always losin'
Always stuck in second best

All this time and energy
One step away from victory

Why's it feel like I'm never enough?
Poster child of sucking it up
I walk in and everyone runs
Gold star loser, punch to the gut
Kick me down, I'm stuck in the mud
Always close but never the one
I'm just another runner up

(Oh-woah, oh-woah-oh) I'm just another runner up
(Oh-woah, oh-woah-oh) I'm just another runner up
