Runner Up Lyrics

Kiss whoever you want and I'll be here

Giving myself a pep talk

Trying to face my fears

Didn't mean to cry before the show

But when somebody's mean to me

I can't let it go

I want it all, all at once

When you look at me

I know that I'm enough

I feel like I'm catching up

I have always been the Runner Up

I kiss whoever I want

You're still around

Traded in our privacy for a smaller town

Didn't think I'd be saying this out loud

Haven't touched myself this much

Since I learned how

I want it all, all at once

Please don't look at me like that

Like I'm covered in your blood

I'll make a mess, but I will clean it up

I'm so pathetic walking home in the rain

It's like a movie, but it's real

So it's not the same

I pass it on street signs

I read it on graves

Half the people I'm meeting are named what you're named

And it's just a normal, boring name

I'm defective

A loser

I feel so ashamed

There's no secrets here, so kiss her again

At the bar that we go to with all of our friends

I want it all, all at once

I'm in the back, but don't worry

I'm pushing my way to the front

I feel like I'm catching up

I have always been the Runner Up

Have I always been the Runner Up

I have always been the Runner Up

Kiss whoever you want, and I'll be here
