Runner Up Lyrics by Tejy

2023

[Intro]
A close runner up, runner up, runner up, runner up, runner up

[Verse 1]
Won't get confused with what this love is
You’re just a girl I knew, oh
I'm tryna find somebody new
You won't catch me jumpin’ over brooms
Anytime, anytime soon
Treat you like you're mine, my only
Ain't that the way that it's supposed to be? Yeah
Lips they've been killin' me so softly, yeah
Jokin' about havin' us some offspring, yeah
Night after night laying over me
We gettin’ older, we’re not gettin' any closer
Wait, it’s just the same, we do it over again
And then then pretend everything's kosher, yeah-yeah
Nobody's business, let's just put this in the past
For me, this shit been over due
And I don’t wanna lie to you
So I'll try stay true

[Chorus]
We're just not one of the same now
I don't know what I can say now
Second best, how can I settle?
Fine, but you're nothing special
A close runner up, runner up, runner up, runner up, runner up
Runner up, runner up, runner up, runner up, runner up, yeah-yeah

[Interlude]
Listen
I mean this isn't a situation either one of us wants to be in
But I've been true to myself
I gotta be honest with you

[Verse 2]
Honeymoon settings, we were learning
Mutually we feelin' nervous
I'd never show it on the surface, nah, yeah
You spend the night i'd feed your urges
Givin' it to you like it's urgent
Playin' with fire, we've been burnin'
Slowly out of reach, I get the coldest feet before it all falls down, down
Thinkin' to myself is all this worthwhile, I don't know
All the smallest problems blow up into somethin' major
Even though we make up, it's never the same love
And I don't wanna have to say much
You're too fine, but we ain't on the same page, girl (Oh)

[Chorus]
We're just not one of the same now
I don't know what I can say now
(Just not one of the same, just not one of the same now)
Second best, how can I settle?
Fine, but you're nothing special
A close runner up, runner up, runner up, runner up, runner up
Runner up, runner up, runner up, runner up, runner up, yeah-yeah

[Outro]
A runner up, runner up, yeah-yeah
