Runner up Lyrics by Devin Griffin

2023

[Intro]
You left me in the dust cause I was taking
A runner up spot in your rotation
A cover up for the time we wasted
Girl, was it love or was it conversation?
The whole summer it flew by in the blink of an eye
White lines to cross out little white lies
You hurt me I know I hurt you too
So why's it so damn hard to get over you

[Refrain 1]
You, yeah
Oh, get over you
You, you, yeah
So why's it so damn hard to get over you, oh
Fresh out of high school and I think I'm peaking
I just watched my whole life go right off the deep end
Spending every weekend staring at the ceiling
Got nothing to believe in anymore

[Chorus]
I don't wanna see your face every place I go
I've been laying on the floor every goddam day
Wishing that I could rewind this thing
I had you then I traded it all for the finer things
I don't wanna hear you say that you hate me I know
I've been feeling so alone ever since you said
That you didn't want to try again
Girl I was hoping you'd be mine again, yeah you'd be mine again

[Verse 2]
Said it was fine I hope you know I was lying
I was just hoping we'd have time to spend
But I guess it all went to waste when you said it was over
You told me you needed space when I needed some closure, uh
The room is spinning I just can't seem to win
When all that I can think about is you, oh
But you're so different you said you wouldn't change
And now you wonder why I say that

[Refrain 2]
I don't wanna be your friend
I don't wanna be your friend
Tell me was it even real?
Put my phone on DND because I don't know how to feel
I don't think you understand that

[Chorus]
I don't wanna see your face every place I go
I've been laying on the floor every goddam day
Wishing that I could rewind this thing
I had you then I traded it all for the finer things
I don't wanna hear you say that you hate me I know
I've been feeling so alone ever since you said
That you didn't want to try again
Girl I was hoping you'd be mine again, yeah you'd be mine again
