"Miss Y" lyrics - MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS

I feel like a substitute sitting on the sideline
Clicking every single finger, waiting for the right time
I feel like a substitute sitting pretty in my prime
I'm about to play the game 'cause I'm running out of time

[Pre-Chorus:]
Drop your knees to the floor, hands to the sky
Give a round of applause for the great Miss Y

[Chorus:]
I walked all night long in the dark just to be standing here
Only to feel like nobody, I'm Miss Y am I here?
I walked all night long in the dark just to be standing here
Only to feel like nobody, I'm Miss Y am I here?

[Post-Chorus:]
And the lights, they get stronger
The longer that you have to wait
For the honor, the honor
To be great

I feel like I'm stuck inside a race, feel like I'm catching up
"Oh Marina, what a shame you didn't make the upper cut!"
Feel like I'm stuck inside a race, feel like I'm catching? up
"Oh Marina, we're so sorry but you didn't make the cut!"

[Pre-Chorus:]
Drop your knees to the floor, hands to the sky
Give a round of applause for the great Miss Y

[Chorus:]
I walked all night long in the dark just to be standing here
Only to feel like nobody, I'm Miss Y am I here?
I walked all night long in the dark just to be standing here
Only to feel like nobody, I'm Miss Y am I here?

[Post-Chorus:]
And the lights, they get stronger
The longer that you have to wait
For the honor, the honor
To be great
