[Verse]
I'm an ink-stained whiteboard
You're the slate wiped clean
I'm a 9-to-5
You're the American Dream

[Pre-Chorus]
Funny how it looks from the outside, doesn't it?
You're so cool that it actually hurts
They all say I'm stealin' all of your credit
I know what that means that I'm you but just worse

[Chorus]
You can only be told
All the same things
So many times
Before you believe them
When you're trying so hard
But you're falling too short
You're the odd one out while
They're getting even, I

[Post-Chorus]
I feel
I've been
Left behind
I think
You're the
Reason why
I feel
I've been
Left behind
I think
You're the
Reason-

[Verse]
You're the life of the party
I'm the morning after
You're the whole goddamn book
I'm just a footnote in a chapter

[Pre-Chorus]
Funny how it looks from the outside, doesn't it?
You're so cool that it actually hurts
They all say I'm stealin' all of your credit
I know what that means that I'm you but just worse

[Chorus]
You can only be told
All the same things
So many times
Before you believe them
When you're trying so hard
But you're falling too short
You're the odd one out while
They're getting even, I
[Outro]
I feel
I've been
Left behind
I think
You're the
Reason why

I feel
I've been
Left behind
I think
You're the
Reason why
