Lyrics
Started out one way, but turned out the other
Started with one expectation, but the outcome was different
And boy it's confused, I run into your brother
Feeling confused, encountered the sibling of the person
I just pay no mind, not trying to be kind
Choosing to ignore, not intending to be kind
There's a mark on my heart, couldn't say that I love ya
There's a emotional scar, unable to express love outright
Couldn't say that I love ya
Reiterating the difficulty in expressing love
It started out slowly then burned out and smothered
Relationship started slowly, but eventually faded
I know you don't know that I wanted to love her
Acknowledging that the person doesn't realize the desire to love someone else
I took the advice, afforded the price
Following advice, paying the price, and waking up with someone else
And I woke up amused in the arms of another
Waking up with another person, finding amusement
You know my only regret
Expressing regret about not meeting earlier
Is that we never really met before
Reiterating the regret about not meeting earlier
Cause you're lost in the race
Feeling lost in a competitive environment
This didn't turn out now the way I'd imagined
Outcome deviated from initial expectations
They say runner's up never enjoy the pageant
Suggesting that runners-up don't enjoy the victory
And all of those lines, I've had to decline
Declining certain paths and relationships
Just like your friends, they're divided and rationed
Comparing declining lines to divided and rationed friends
You know my only request
Expressing a desire to be together more
Is that we really should be together more
Reiterating the wish to be together more
Before the end of the ra-ce
Expressing the urgency to be together before the end of the race (life)
Ooh, before the end of the race
Repeating the urgency to be together before the end of the race
Yeah, before the end of the ra-ce
-Ooh, before the end of the race
-Yeah, before the end of the ra-ce
-Ooh, before the end of the race
-Let's make it like we never met before
-The end of the ra-ce
-
