Far, far behind.
I can barley see you.
I pick up the pace,
But the others are too.
Its still early in the race,
I know i can make my way
So i plan ahead,
I pray i make it there someday.
Time goes by.
You are clear to me.
Im coming in closer.
Others can clearly see.

Now i'm an inch away,
My heart beats fast.
I come in next to you.
I just need to relax.
I can't relax.
Im so close to winning.
I can see the finish line
Cameras flash as im grinning.

I turn around,
To look for you.
I push by people,
"I NEED to get through! "
And then i see you,
farther behind.
Running with a girl.
Who hasn't yet crossed the line.
  
I have one the race,
I get the prize,
But it doesn't  mean anything,
Without you by my side.
I've grown too attached,
To your loving eyes
Your smiling face,
I just want to cry.

Maybe if i failed,
And stuck with you,
I would of won big,
Knowing were both number 92.
But i gave it my all,
Ran stright ahead.
But i never expected,
This alternate end.

I am no champion.
I am no winner.
I feel bad your pride.
I feel like a sinner.

Theres another race tomorrow,
But you cannot attend.
You need to be a winner,
And i need my friend.

I wanna drop my victory.
But my love is a secret.
People will assume why I quit,
So i cant express it.

Then again- i know you.
We have bonded for some time.
I know you'd want the best for me.
So i cant leave this behind.

I will do this for you.
I will do this for us.
I dont wanna compete.
But i know i must.

So goodbye for now.
It might work out fine.
Maybe I can look foward to you,
Behind the finish line.
