Never good enough

Never good enough
i always come up short somehow
i want to be loved
i need it so bad now

she's good, but not great
are the words that hang over my head
i can't escape them
until i go to bed

I'm ok, but not the best
being compared constantly
to everyone else
in this society

what must i do
to compare to you
I'm cute but not hot
i only wish you knew

knew what it's like
to always be second best
i can't even compete
against any of the rest

guys swoon over you
and everyone likes you
and oh yeah my boyfriend
loves you too

side by side i feel insecure
people use me to get to you constantly
i just wanna measure up for once
so i can finally be free

i feel lonely even in a big group
almost as if I'm isolated
I'm starting to think
that maybe you are overrated

i could shout to high heavens
and no one would hear my calls
they are too busy paying attention to you
to save me when i fall
