Underdog

Don't expect your love tonight
'Cause what you said was all too real
And I took it to the heart
Don't try to make things right
Just by saying that I love you
'Cause I know it's all a lie

You walk into this room
Crowd rises on their feet for you
And I, I come in from the other directions
'Cause after all, they're expecting me to lose

And I want to love you
And I want to miss you when you're gone
No one really cares what I'll amount to
'Cause after all, I'll lose again
And life will go on

Turn away when you hear my name
Come back later when there's
No one left to blame but yourself
Swimming in my shoes
It'll never happen
'Cause after all, I'm prepared to lose

Faith melts away with greed
Nothing's explained, so I'm digging to plant the seed
Of hopelessness, I don't wanna see the world from this perspective
'Cause after all, my soul needs to be free

And I want to love you
And I want to miss you when you're gone
No one really cares what I'll amount to
'Cause after all, I'll lose again
And life will go on
Life will go on
Life will go on
