Runner Up - Billie Black

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
