COMPARE Lyrics by Sarah Darklight

2018

[Intro]

Because maybe I'm not good enough
Yes you are
No, no maybe I'm not
Yes you are
Maybe I'm not
You are
Maybe I'm not
You are

[Verse 1]

Why can't I be like him? (Him)
Why can't I be like her? (Her)
Why can't I have those things? (Things)
Why do I have to be me? (Me)
Why do they get to be a star? (Star)
Why do they get to drive that car? (Car)
Why am I single and afraid? (Afraid)
Why do they get better days? (Days)

Who am I, who am I so? (So)
Who am I in the dark? (Dark)
Who am I compared to someone? (Someone)
No, who am I in my hеart? (Heart)

[Chorus]

I compare myself to еverybody that's around (Oh)
I'll never be a king because I let them take my crown (Oh)
They don't even know it but, (Oh)
Every day is pain (Oh)
If I wasn't me I think it might just go away (Oh)

I compare myself to everybody that's around (Oh)
I'll never be a king because I let them take my crown (Oh)
They don't even know it but, (Oh)
Every day is pain (Oh)
If I wasn't me I think it might just go away (Oh)

[Verse 2]

If you look into your life and see the things that you don't have
All it's gonna' to do is make it worse when it gets bad
If you're lookin' towards the others
That got the things you want
You'll never make it through to where you'll ever be enough

I feel so inadequate
Like I can't get a clue
I never want to be myself
Cause' myself isn't you
You with the good job
You with the white skin
You with the mom and dad
You with the girlfriend

What that means
I'm never thankful
Ain't grateful
For my life
I gotta' stop comparing
I'm just wasting
All my time

I'm me and my life is what I know
What I need is what I have
And everything inside this world
Eventually will burn
If I ever look at people
I'll see lessons I should learn

I can't whine that life's not fair
Cause' the love God has for me
Could never compare

[Chorus]

I compare myself to everybody that's around (Oh)
I'll never be a king because I let them take my crown (Oh)
They don't even know it but, (Oh)
Every day is pain (Oh)
If I wasn't me I think it might just go away (Oh)

I compare myself to everybody that's around (Oh)
I'll never be a king because I let them take my crown (Oh)
They don't even know it but, (Oh)
Every day is pain (Oh)
If I wasn't me I think it might just go away (Oh)

[Outro]

Don't need to be like him (Him)
Don't need to be like her (Her)
Don't need to have those things (Things)
I just need to be me (Me)
