[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

[Pre-Chorus]
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?

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
'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?
[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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
