The Comparison

For when everyone else's life looks perfect.

The Lyrics

Two a.m. and I can't sleep
Scrollin' through the highlight reel
Everybody's life looks perfect
And I'm wonderin' what's wrong with me

But I wasn't made to be them
And I'm done runnin' someone else's race

So I'm done measuring up
Done feelin' like I'm not enough
You made me on purpose
You made me on time
I don't gotta be her
I was never behind
Comparison, you can keep it
I'm finally free to be me

Got somethin' nobody else has
Almost gave it to be someone I don't know
Tried to be a copy of a copy
No wonder I felt lost

But there's only one of me
And the world's been waitin' for her to show up

So I'm done measuring up
Done feelin' like I'm not enough
You made me on purpose
You made me on time
I don't gotta be her
I was never behind
Comparison, you can keep it
I'm finally free to be me

The grass ain't greener
It's just filtered
Everybody's hurtin
Where you can't see
So I'll bloom right here
In my own season
And love the ones
I used to envy

Right where I'm supposed to be
On time, on purpose, free to be me.
