My ship has run ashore
There you go out the door
And you think I'd be used to it
This face you'll soon forget and
My mind will not relent
I can't stop thinking about it
How I've become subsequent, unimportant
Consequently I've been changing into someone I don't wanna be
So I'll just deal with me being me and know I'll always be
Runner up, Runner Up, Runner Up

Looking back i was floating along
They where looking down on me like I didn't belong
Finding things to call my own but
Falling short of everything that I know

I'm sick of everyone steeling my beat
Pulling rugs out from under my feet
Is it them or is it me
Is there a truth I just can't see

They pick it and they get the goal
I think I'm stuck in the losing zone
Second place its all i know
Second place its all i know
Things are looking up but I'm to low
I try to catch up but I'm to slow
Second place is all I know
Second place is all I know

I can't stop thinking about it
How I've become subsequent, unimportant
Consequently I've been changing
Into someone I don't wanna be
So I'll just deal with me being me and know I'll always be
Runner up, Runner Up, Runner Up, Runner Up
