I compare my life to others,
Seeing if theirs are better.
Are they loved,
Are they hugged?
Do they sleep,
Instead of weep?
Are they happy,
Or are they lonely?
Do they float,
Just like a boat?
Or do they sink,
Just like me?
I compare my life to others,
Seeing if theirs are better.
They are loved,
They are hugged.
They do sleep,
And never weep.
They are happy,
And never lonely.
They do float,
Just like a boat.
They would never sink,
Unlike me...
