[Verse 1]
I’m smiling
You buy it
I say congratulations
I’m jealous when I see you win
No, really you earned this
Those numbers just confirm it
I’m lying through my teeth again

[Pre-Chorus]
And they should know you’re the best
As long as I’m better
Went to your show just to check what you did wrong

[Chorus]
My insecurity’s brutal
I hear my voice and I cringe
I need somebody’s approval now ‘cause I’m too proud to see you win

[Verse 2]
Reaction, no passion
They said my songs don’t say much
Tell me if this one says enough
Took like four years to make this
I think it makes sense I hate it
Is it bad or is it bad luck?
[Pre-Chorus]
And they should know I’m the best
I only get better
Put one hand up just to prove I do no wrong

[Chorus]
My insecurity’s brutal
I hear my voice and I cringe
I need somebody’s approval now ‘cause I’m too proud to see you win

[Bridge]
Who else do you know
Does it like this
Sing sad songs
Pretend being honest
Everyone I know
Is better than this
Sing sad songs
Look how good my art is
1, 2
1, 2, 3, 4

[Chorus]
My insecurity’s brutal
I hear my voice and I cringe
I need somebody’s approval now ‘cause I’m too proud to see you win
