Edge of Success

I can see your face plastered over the city
How could I not be filled with jealousy?
It's late at night and I'm rhyming in the dark
While you're performing in front of the crowds I wish I had

And they're watching you
They're not watching me
How can I see the light?
When I'm behind your shadow, your shadow, your shadow?

I'm on the edge of success
Yet mundane like the rest
Why am I waiting for someone to
Tell me what I'm worth?
What am I worth?
Tell me what I'm worth

I can't keep on moving forward if you're the finish line
How can I trust myself when I'm always behind?
I can't leave my self-esteem in your hands
I can't leave these broken pieces when

You're wrapped up in my head; I can't take it
But your validation; I need it
Always second best to you
I can never seem to pull through

I'm on the edge of success
Yet mundane like the rest
Why am I waiting for someone to
Tell me what I'm worth?
What am I worth?
Tell me what I'm worth

Am I smart enough?
Am I original enough?
How am I not enough for me?

Smart enough?
Am I original enough?
How am I not enough for me?

Smart enough?
Am I original enough?
How am I not enough for me?

What am I worth to you?
What am I worth to me?
Will I ever be worth more at all?

When will I become
Who I want to be?
There's so many things I want to do
What's the point in waiting for you?

Edge of success
Yet mundane like the rest
Why am I waiting for someone to
Tell me what I'm worth?

Why am I waiting?
Why am I waiting?
Why am I waiting for someone?
Why am I waiting?
Why am I waiting?
Why am I waiting?
Oh, tell me what I'm worth
