Verse 1

If there was a popularity contest in my mind

You would win it every single time

Somehow beating the best people in my life

All your misdeeds I let slide

Smoke screens aided your campaign

They hide every warning sign

Make me believe you're mine

Red flags, should have seen the signs

Smoke screens, made me believe you were mine

Pre Chorus

And for some reason I can't leave you behind

Even after you got exposed for all you're crimes

But I still couldn't set you aside

Chorus

Ohhh

The people who deserve to win

Never seem to

All your excuses stuck to me like glue

False stories clouded up my mind

Guess you won the popularity contest this time

Why can't I just wash you away?

Scrub myself clean of this fray

Guess you won the popularity contest this time

Verse 2

And all my friends tried to let me know,

Told me I should let you go,

All their truths I saw as lies,

You won the popularity contest before their very eyes

I was foolish to believe that you were ever mine

I wanted to believe I was the one you liked

All the truths I saw as lies

They were right before my eyes

Pre Chorus

Look what you started

You set fire to my heart

Stepped back as you watched it burn

Chorus

Ohhh

The people who deserve to win

Never seem to

All your excuses stuck to me like glue

False stories clouded up my mind

Guess you won the popularity contest this time

Why can't I just wash you away?

Scrub myself clean of this fray

Guess you won the popularity contest this time

Bridge

I'll never forget all of your tactics

Unanimous, you won again

Your victory was a farce

But to you it was all a game

My heart, your cheap trophy

Spray painted gold,

I never meant anything to you

My name's not something

You bother to mention anymore

Chorus

Ohhh

The people who deserve to win

Never seem to

All your excuses stuck to me like glue

False stories clouded up my mind

Guess you won the popularity contest this time

Why can't I just wash you away?

Scrub myself clean of this fray

Guess you won the popularity contest this time

Outro

I couldn't see past the clutches

Of your grasp

I paid the price for putting you

On the throne of my mind

~~~~~~~~~~~~

This song is about being so devoted to someone that you put them at the top of your world, ignoring the fact that they're hurting you.
