Kaygı - Runner Up Lyrics

Ooh, I see you shining like a diamond in my sight
You got the world in your hands, but my moments are a fight
I'm standing here, though I can't seem to break through
I'm just your plan, be patiently waiting here for you

Tell me, how do I compete with that love
When your heart's on lockdown, but I'm still thinking of
The nights we laughed, the moments we shared
I know I'm your option, but girl, I still care

I'm second in your heart, oh, it tears me apart
You're my queen on the throne, while I'm lost in the dark
I'm dancing in the shadows, I'll never be enough
Accepting my fate, girl, I'm just a runner-up

Every smile you give, it's like a spark in my chest
But I'm the backup plan in all of this mess
Thought we had forever, but forever's on pause
Trying to hold on tight, even with these flaws

You got that fire, and I'm just the flames
Thinking about the nights when you whisper my name
I know I'm not the one that you chose
But every beat of my heart, girl, it still knows

I'm second in your heart, oh, it tears me apart
You're my queen on the throne, while I'm lost in the dark
I'm dancing in the shadows, I'll never be enough
Accepting my fate, girl, I'm just a runner-up

A moonwalker in the night, looking for a sign
But every step I take, it's still you on my mind
I'll spin and twirl in your light, I'll thrive
Even as your runner-up, I'm still so up high

I'm second in your heart, oh, it tears me apart
You're my queen on the throne, while I'm lost in the dark
I'm dancing in the shadows, I'll never be enough
Accepting my fate, girl, I'm just a runner-up

So take my hand, girl, let's break this apart
I'm casting your play, I won't play the part
You're the one I adore, it's you I want to find
Even as your runner-up, you're forever in my mind

Ooh, I'll always be your runner-up
Ooh, but girl, I'll never give up
