Victory Lap

Spent the summer like a tempest
Big hot mess
Thinking to myself
"Damn bitch, you live like this?"
Been 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 unbreakable 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 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
Feeling bad that I don't feel bad
But you're running in place
So I'll have to take a Victory Lap

I'm taking a
I'm taking a, taking a
Im taking a
I'm taking, taking a

I've been talking lots of shit about ya 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 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
Feeling bad that I don't feel bad
But you're running in place
So I'll have to take a Victory Lap

I'm taking a
I'm taking a, taking a
Im taking a
I'm taking, taking a

I've been falling on my own sword
I've been playing hard to want
I've been acting like you'll see me
Heartbreak's a panopticon
And I know its hyperbole
To claim that you're in misery
But it helps to imagine that
You're sad and doing 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 (taking a)
I'd lie to you but never myself (taking a, taking a)
Feeling bad that I don't feel bad (taking a)
But you're running in place (running)
So I'll have to take a Victory Lap (taking a, taking a)
