Lyrics
I feel
I was born to love on the sidelines
To love from afar
I try
To make it go fine
But I end up with scars, oh
I wasn't built
To love up close
That kind of life's
Just for other folks
So I'm sitting all alone
Looking at my phone
In the back of the room
I've never been the first choice
I'm the runner up, I'm second place
Not quite good enough for your pretty face
And I don't function well in romantic situations
I'm too obsessed but too scared to try
I'm too paranoid for your pickup lines
But I try to love in a way
I haven't seen portrayed
In the model I've known
In my predestined mold
But I'm nervous and I'm scared
And frankly unprepared
For romance and its dangers
And for lovers turned strangers
And I feel
I was born to love on the sidelines
To love from afar
I try
To make it go fine
But I end up with scars, oh
I wasn't built
To love up close
That kind of life's
Just for other folks
So I'm sitting all alone
Looking at my phone
In the back of the room
Love is often lost and lovers led astray
They fight until it burns and crashes
And nothing rises from the ashes
I'd rather sit and think about the could-have-beens
All the loves that went unrequited
Instead of feeling used and spited
I want to love in a way
I haven't seen portrayed
In the model I've known
In my predestined mold
But I'm nervous and I'm scared
And frankly unprepared
For romance and it's dangers
And for lovers turned strangers
And I feel
I was born to love on the sidelines
To love from afar
I try
To make it go fine
But I end up with scars, oh
I wasn't built
To love up close
That kind of life's
Just for other folks
So I'm sitting all alone
Looking at my phone
In the back of the room
It's so hard to learn to just let go
Of all the hurt I've had and loss I've known
Cause lately it seems the universe
Is bent on screaming this endless curse
That true love never was and never will be
Maybe not for everyone, but it especially wasn't meant for me
Cause I feel
I was born to love on the sidelines
To love from afar
I try
To make it go fine
But I end up with scars, oh
I wasn't built
To love up close
That kind of life's
Just for other folks
So I'm sitting all alone
Looking at my phone
In the back of the room
