Underdog

What an awful feeling

Not being wanted

I'm gonna be something someday you can't let yourself press pause on

Maybe I don't work hard enough

But baby, there's no better motivation than you giving me up

It's not a competition

But who here is the victim?

Was losing you worth the ticket to freedom?

I've got this anger

That won't go away

I'm just scared that something better is taking my place

They're big shoes to fill

Though I outgrew them

Don't throw them away, though

'Cause someone could use them

If you taught me one thing

It's that I am deserving

And even the underdog can win it all

If at first, they put their name in

And then I'm back in your basement

And it's some time in March

And I'm still acting like I don't already know guitar

I just want you to think that I'm special

Rereading my notes

'Cause you never would leave 'em

It's not a competition

Just wonder who's the victim?

Was losing me your ticket to freedom?

You've got this anger

That won't go away

And I'm just scared of something better taking my place

They're big shoes to fill

Even though I outgrew them

Don't throw them away, though

'Cause someone could use them

If you taught me one thing

It's that I am deserving

Even the underdog can win it all

If at first, they put their name in

And then I'm back in your basement

And it's some time in March

And I'm still acting like I don't already know guitar

I just want you to think that I'm special

Rereading my notes

'Cause you never would leave 'em

What an awful feeling

Not being wanted

I'm gonna be something someday

You can't let yourself

Press pause on
