Runner Up

I just set myself up when I fell so hard for you

I thought I was number one when I was really number two

That's when it all changed when you found someone else

You left me far behind

I sure hope you pleased yourself

Now that you've moved on who will help me do the same?

Who will tell me that it's all right and that I'm not the one to blame?

We both know I'm just a runner up in your eyes

But please don't go even though I'm just some second place prize

This one goes out to all those who've heard those lines from that special one you love

Like a Charlie Brown Valentine

Rejection at its best

Even though it feels the worst to hear them start to say any of the lines in this next verse:

"I'm seeing someone else."

"I think we should just be friends."

"I really like you a lot but please don't call me again."

"If we had known each other before things might have changed."

But now I'm number one and number two just isn't the same

It seems to always end the same

Just another rejection game

Another time that I got tossed

I guess that I've lost

When you think that you're counted out or it's time to hang up the gloves

Don't start throwing in the towel

Look for inspiration above

I don't know why I used all the boxing metaphors

It's just another way to say, "Jesus loves you more and more."

Go ahead and go

I'm not a runner up in His eyes

Leave me alone because I'm not your second place prize

Since you stole my heart can you give it back today?

Because you never really cared

You will just throw it all away

Instead I'll give to God what I should have all along

The love that's in my heart

Jesus, to you it all belongs

God's eternal care

Amazing amounts of grace

Unconditional love lifting me out of this low place

Death is not an end

In fact it's just a start of Heaven's eternal life because I've got Jesus in my heart

From Him I will never part

God's only begotten Son

I guess that I've won
