Would you rather I was a doormat?
Would you rather I was a stepping stone?
There's gotta be a better way to button a lip
So that I don't bite through the rope
The line pulled tight
From picking up the slack
Now my fingers start to bleed every time I scratch your back
I am
Trying to be better than
I am
You can't
Cope with coming in last
So you quit
Did we run this race to be great?
Did we only run around in circles?
Winning by a hair
Pinning medals to an heir
But I can't take an "L" for a turtle
The line pulled tight
You didn't even finish last
You lingered sleeping on my back as I crawled around the track
I am
Trying to be better than
I am
While you stuff your straw man
You can't
Cope with coming in last
So you quit
Would you rather I was a doormat?
Would you rather I was a stepping stone?
Even if you hate me for what I've shared
I still care
I am
Doing what you said you would
I am
Being who you said you would
You can't
Cope with coming in last
So you quit
I am
Trying to be more than
High and
Dying to be born again
I have
Tried to help for so long
Now I quit
