lyrics

You are an athlete
run my mind all day
sometimes the loser
mostly in first place.
I am the racetrack
hopeless as can be
I swear that one day
You'll run right over me.

I'm just a statue
you're passing by
I want to be small
but from you I can't hide
waited for you love
for it came once to me
held it with strong hands
and now I'm lonely.

And I wanted something more but you never even wanted me (x2)

I'm not an athlete
I feel so weak
you're jumping though lovers minds
I'm shackled at the feet.
I am the race track
hopeless as can be
I swear that one day
You'll run right over me
