The Side Character
[Verse 1]
I'm at the bottom of the list
I'm not the type to take a risk
You see my name and ask, "Who's this?"
Perfect example of it, what is what it is
My only goal's to do no wrong
Whichever is I'll go along
Bury my thoughts in all my songs
'Cause my music is where I belong

[Pre-Chorus]
And if we meet eyes, look away and pass by
I'm not worth the time, go with the flow
'Cause I make sure that I
Don't stand out 'cause I'm
Afraid to go and break the status quo

[Chorus]
I'm a mediocre, I'm a bore
I'm the first knight to die in a war
A side character, nothing more
I'm not extraordinary, what am I here for?

[Verse 2]
You on your worst day is my best
A look at you and I'm depressеd (Mm)
Stuck in a cycle of a medieval quеst
Nah, I'm really just a mess
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I make sure that I
Don't stand out 'cause I'm
Afraid to go and break the status quo
'Cause when I'll choose to try
To word out all my rhymes
I still won't get the lead for the whole show
Ay, hehe, sorry

[Chorus]
I'm a mediocre, I'm a bore
I'm the first knight to die in a war
A side character, nothing more
I'm not extraordinary, what am i here for?
I'm a mediocre, I'm a bore
I'm the first knight to die in a war
A side character, nothing more
I'm not extraordinary, what am I here for?

[Bridge]
If this were a movie, then I'd understudy
The fifth extra crossing the street
Wish I were the main girl, the center of your world
A wish is a dream that can't be

[Outro]
I'm sorry that I'm me
I'm sorry that I'm me
I'm sorry that I'm positively negative and weak
But I'm happy that I'm me
I'm glad that I am me
I'd rather be the supporting role who's pretty cute and meek
