can we keep it uncomplicated?
1.
I'm not your competition
I never have been
you think you can't have
what your want
'cause you say
I do it better
I don't do it better
I just do it like me
I've never been better than you
just different
2.
I don't know what you see
that makes you hold me
in more esteem
than I deserve
I am a pain in the arse
to live with it
and I know it
but you bury my flaws
like they don't affect you
every single day
and pretend that love
is worth the suffering
Sometimes I wonder
if you only love me
because I'm the first person
who ever really
loved you
3.
I hope you like
the friendship zone
because you put yourself there
when you only befriended me
because I was someone
you wanted to fuck
I'm not and never have been
a sexual commodity
4.
You treat me like a goddess
when I'm only human
and I am not the measure
of love you make me out to be
when your other girlfriends
fall short
5.
I'm not saint
you make me out to be
6.
If nothing else
I'm both more
and less
than what I seem
I'm not your competition
I never have been
you think you can't have
what your want
'cause you say
I do it better
I don't do it better
I just do it like me
I've never been better than you
