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.
