Far Better Off
You used to think that they were better off
Than all the rest, you never felt enough
You look at them in shame and fame
Comparing your life, you weren't a part of
you see the way they lived and you feel so low
Like you were missing out, there was nowhere to go
Seems you don't know, life's not a competition
It's being true to who you are, and living with passion
But now I see, it was all just in my head
I let comparisons get the best of me
I pushed away the ones I love the most
Now I'm alone
I thought I should be like them, to fit in with the crowd
But now I see, that was just a veil I wore, a shroud
I let it blind me, and consume me
But I'm breaking free
You thought you needed all the things you saw
To be happy and to feel like you belonged
But money and fame, they don't mean a thing
If you're lost in the shadows, unable to sing
you chased after shadows, never looking back
But now you see, that was just a mindless attack
On your own happiness, are you ready
To leave it all behind
Are you done with envy, are you done with the lies
I am finding, it was a waste of time, blegh
But now I see, it was all just in my head
I let comparisons get the best of me
I pushed away the ones I love the most
Now I'm alone
I thought I should be like them, to fit in with the crowd
But now I see, that was just a veil I wore, a shroud
I let it blind me, and consume me
But I'm breaking free
Than all the rest, you never felt enough
You look at them in shame and fame
Comparing your life, you weren't a part of
you see the way they lived and you feel so low
Like you were missing out, there was nowhere to go
Seems you don't know, life's not a competition
It's being true to who you are, and living with passion
But now I see, it was all just in my head
I let comparisons get the best of me
I pushed away the ones I love the most
Now I'm alone
I thought I should be like them, to fit in with the crowd
But now I see, that was just a veil I wore, a shroud
I let it blind me, and consume me
But I'm breaking free
You thought you needed all the things you saw
To be happy and to feel like you belonged
But money and fame, they don't mean a thing
If you're lost in the shadows, unable to sing
you chased after shadows, never looking back
But now you see, that was just a mindless attack
On your own happiness, are you ready
To leave it all behind
Are you done with envy, are you done with the lies
I am finding, it was a waste of time, blegh
But now I see, it was all just in my head
I let comparisons get the best of me
I pushed away the ones I love the most
Now I'm alone
I thought I should be like them, to fit in with the crowd
But now I see, that was just a veil I wore, a shroud
I let it blind me, and consume me
But I'm breaking free
