Leanna Firestone - Victory Lap Lyrics

Spent the summer like a tempest, big hot mess
Thinkin’ to myself, “Damn, bet you live like this”
Then avoiding every call, peeling paper off the wall
Crumbs in my bed
I put the manic-panic down and I changed my sheets
Took the hombre couple vow to be more mean
I paid off all the cards, I ditched my broken heart
Now only one of us is lonely
I don’t mean to brag, but you know you’ve blew it
Best you ever had, well, yeah, the shoe fits

I knew it had to happen
I’d see you after the aftermath and
I never thought that you’d look so tragic
I guess the big man falls the fastest
And I wish I could wish you well
I’d lie to you but never myself
Feelin’ bad that I don’t feel bad
But you’re runnin’ in place (runnin’ in place)
So I’ll have to take a victory lap

I’m takin’ a
I’m takin’ a, takin’ a
I’m takin’ a
I’m takin’ a, takin’ a

I’ve been talkin’ lots of shit about you to my friends
No longer have your honor that I gotta defend
Every stupid thing you’d say every time I had to fake
They never liked you anyway
I don’t mean to brag, but you know you’ve blew it
Best you ever had, well, yeah, the shoe fits

I knew it had to happen
I’d see you after the aftermath and
I never thought that you’d look so tragic
I guess the big man falls the fastest
And I wish I could wish you well
I’d lie to you but never myself
Feelin’ bad that I don’t feel bad
But you’re runnin’ in place (runnin’ in place)
So I’ll have to take a victory lap

I’m takin’ a
I’m takin’ a, takin’ a
I’m takin’ a
I’m takin’ a, takin’ a

I’ve been fallin’ on my own sword
I’ve been playin’ hard to win
I’ve been actin’ like you’ll see me
Heartbreak’s a panopticon
And I know it’s hyperbole
To claim that you’re in misery
But it helps to imagine
That you’re sad and doin’ worse than me

I knew it had to happen
I’d see you after the aftermath and
I never thought that you’d look so tragic
I guess the big man falls the fastest
And I wish I could wish you well (I’m takin’ a)
I’d lie to you but never myself (I’m takin’ a, takin’ a)
Feelin’ bad that I don’t feelin’ bad
That you’re runnin’ in place (runnin’ in, runnin’ in)
So I’ll have to take (I’m takin’ a, takin’ a)
Victory lap
