Didn’t make the grade
But you get this for trying so hard
Might have came in last place
But really, who’s keeping track of placement anyway?
Leaving empty handed from the race
Years spent sitting idly by, now sitting in disgrace
Have we had it?
Have we had enough yet?
Will we choose
to stick around
After what we found?
Will we choose to say
That none of this has paid off for me
None of this was worth the journey
All of this has sent me packing
T’was a lovely thought
Including me as well with the others
Thanks for coming out, someone let me out
Thanks for coming out, someone let me out
No one deserves their intelligence slighted like this
No one deserves their intelligence slighted like this
Will we choose to say
That none of this has paid off for me
None of this was worth the journey
All of this has sent me packing

Just last night
You were dreaming of winning
But you were shorted by two
Somethin ain't sitting right at all
With the result
I'm sure you did better
And when you feel like things are slipping
You’re squeezing right in, been bringing your game
But there's room for improvement
A circular badge, not an alloy you want, but your competition
They had a leg up
Just last night
I remember you saying
You were taking first place
But you wouldn't look in my face
I knew you had doubts, had something to chase
Said you had to go, had someone to meet
I’m going to say aloud
I want you to be proud
But it was only third place
And when you feel like things are slipping
You’re squeezing right in, been bringing your game
But there’s room for improvement
A circular badge, not an alloy you want, but your competition
They had a leg up
And when you feel like things are slipping
You’re squeezing right in, been bringing your game
But there’s room for improvement

Sensation I've never felt
Times caught up to you
I've lost
I've lost
The first loser
The last hopeful
The first loser
The last last hopeful

Have I become so camouflaged?
The win was on my own
I’ll take the loss as a mirage
Don’t tell me I’m alone
I just don’t lose
I just don’t lose
I just don’t lose
I just don’t lose
Experiencing disbelief
Just cannot see how you could’ve beaten me so cleanly
Was it something that you could have slipped me to slow me down?
I’ve been defeated
You must have cheated
It is alleged that I won by a mile
Experiencing disbelief.
Just cannot see how I could’ve beaten you so cleanly.
Was it something that you could have taken to slow you down?
I’m been defeated
You must’ve cheated
It is alleged that I won by a mile
I’m undefeated
You assume I must’ve cheated
It is alleged that you won fair and square
