Isn't it funny how none of my friends ever liked you?
Isn’t it cute how I kept denying the truth?
Guess that I wanted you to prove them wrong
I'm always rooting for the underdog

Stood on the sidelines, screaming your name from the bleachers
Hung on your highlights, blurred out the worst parts of you
Guess that I knew that, that I was never number one
I'm always rooting for the underdog
Maybe I'm the underdog

'Cause when it's good, yeah, it's good
I'm alright when you do what you should
I'm holding on to what could be but would it be better
When it's hell, yeah, it's hell
I should really go and save myself
I'm holding on to what could be, but would it be better?

You got me baited, holding me out on your string
You’re crazy about me but you need a week to think
It's mystifying, undermining
Lock the door but leave a light on in my head
In my head, oh

’Cause when it's good, yeah, it's good
I'm alright when you do what you should
I'm holding on to what could be but would it be better
When it's hell, yeah, it's hell
I should really go and save myself
I'm holding on to what could be, but would it be better?

We go back and forth like I'm your shitty little corner store
Take what you want from me and I'll just keep giving you more
Maybe one night you'll realize that I have everything
But you'll get nothing from me

'Cause when it's good, yeah, it's good
I'm alright when you do what you should
I'm holding on to what could be but would it be better
When it's hell, yeah, it's hell
I should really go and save myself
I'm holding on to what could be, but would it be better?

(I'm holding on to what could be)
But would it be better?
(I'm holding on to what could be)
But would it be better?
