Lyrics

Isn't it funny
How none of my friends ever liked you
Isn't it cute
How I kept denying the truth
Guess that I wanted
You to prove them wrong
I'm always rooting for the underdog
Stood on the sidelines
Screaming your name from the bleachers
Hung on your highlights
Blurred out the worst parts of you
Guess that I knew that
That I was never number one
I'm always rooting for the underdog
Maybe I'm the underdog
'Cause when it's good, yeah it's good
I'm alright when you do what you should
I'm holding on to what could be
But would it be better?
When it's hell, yeah it's hell
I should really go and save myself
I'm holding onto what could be
But would it be better?
You got me baited
Holding me out on your string
You're crazy about me
But you need a week to think
It's mystifying, undermining
Lock the door but leave a light on in my head
In my head, oh
'Cause when it's good, yeah it's good
I'm alright when you do what you should
I'm holding onto what could be
But would it be better?
When it's hell, yeah it's hell
I should really go and save myself
I'm holding on to what could be
But would it be better?
Go back and forth like I'm your shitty little corner store
Take what you want from me
And I'll just keep giving you more
Maybe one night you'll realize that I have everything
But you'll get nothing from me
'Cause when it's good, yeah it's good
I'm alright when you do what you should
I'm holding on to what could be
But would it be better?
When it's hell, yeah it's hell (when it's hell, yeah it's hell)
I should really go and save myself
I'm holding on to what could be
But would it be better?
I'm holding on to what could be
But would it be better?
I'm holding on to what could be
But would it be better?
