Billie Black – Runner Up lyrics

I'm coming up for air, see you half in love
It's never like the first time
Never quite enough
It's never quite as strong
It's never quite as tough
You don't need me like you needed her
You know that there's an ending
Know that there's a cut
It's never quite as open
Never quite sharp, it's never quite real
I just came in a Runner Up
But I'll wait, and I'll hold, and I'll love
'Cause I'm strong!
I just came in a Runner Up
But I'll live, and I'll last, and I'll love
'Cause I'm strong!

It's come an interview, seeing all quite here
I know I'm not as candid, never quite as clear
I haven't had the hours, I haven't had the years
Time moves so fast living like we do
You know that there's an akin, know that there's a truth
It's never quite as empty, is never quite as full
It's never quite real
I just came in a Runner Up
But I'll wait, and I'll hold, and I'll love
'Cause I'm strong!
I just came in a Runner Up
But I'll live, and I'll last, and I'll love
'Cause I'm strong!

Things don't change
You may be the twice as shy
I can't say that I know the places she could hide
Things don't change
I can gain of you, but twice as high
Things don't end, we just spend them all to store them whole
I can't bend, thus pretending make them feel like gold
Things don't end, just attend them to, we all let go
I just came in a Runner Up
But I'll wait, and I'll hold, and I'll love
