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 nothing
The disappointment, so soul-crushing
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 bench warmer
Sub me out in the last quarter
This is stupid, always losing
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, I'm just another runner-up
Oh, I'm just another runner-up
(I'm just another runner-up)
