No Runner-Ups In Love

How many times will I settle for less Before I realize that I deserve the best How many times will I let my heart break Before I understand that some love is fake I've been the second choice too many times Settling for scraps, accepting half-hearted lines But now I know that love is not a game And I won't play along, I won't be the same There are no runner-ups in love, it's true I won't be a consolation prize for you I'll wait for someone who will choose me first Who sees my worth and puts me above else So I'll take a step back, I'll let go Of all the love that wasn't meant to grow And I'll hold out for the one who will see That I am their first choice, their destiny No more settling, no more second place I'll wait for the love that will embrace All that I am, all that I can be For there are no runner-ups in love, you see
