Runner Up - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

They say that if he wanted to he would

But I don't call you and I could

Don't wanna fit the desperate part

My friends tell me I shouldn't overthink

I'm going over everything

And how to become what you want

But she's prettier and skinner and everything I'm not

So what am I supposed to do if loving you's all that I've got?

How could you think I'd believed the timing's wrong?

When you moved on so fast and she's there on your arm

Oh, you promised me I'd always be more than good enough

But here I am again

I'm back here again

As her runner up

Oh, it's so funny the way that it works

The part when you wanted me first

Now I'm stuck in my own throat

'Cause she's prettier and skinner and everything I'm not

So what am I supposed to do when loving you's all that I've got?

How could you think I'd believed the timing's wrong?

When you moved on so fast and she's there in your arms

Oh, you promised me I'd always be more than good enough

But here I am again

I'm back here again

As her runner up

You don't deserve me

I know my worth and so will he

He'll put me first, better believe

I'll be just fine you'll see

How could you think I'd believed the timing's wrong?

When you moved on so fast and she's there on your arm

Oh, you promised me I'd always be more than good enough

But here I am again

I'm back here again

As her runner up
