"The Side Character" Lyrics:

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 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

And if we meet eyes,
Look away and pass by
I'm not worth the time, go with the flow

Cus I make sure that I
Don’t stand out cus I’m
Afraid to go and break the status quo

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

You on your worst day is my best
A look at you and I’m depressed
Stuck in a cycle of a medieval quest
Nah, I’m really just a mess

Yeah I make sure that I
Don’t stand out cus I’m
Afraid to go and break the status quo

Cus 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

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

I’m 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

If this were a movie
Then I’d understudy
The fifth extra crossing the street

Wish i were the main the girl
The center of your world
A wish is a dream that can't be

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
