Dear jealousy,

Of all my friends, you're the worst
But of all my enemies, you're the best
You're like the older brother I never needed
But can't live without

Comparison is one thing that I'm so good at
cuz you make it a routine for me
You teach me that their win is my loss
And their gain is my lack

You're always there for me when my friends are around
You never fail to remind me of what I do and do not have

And though you make me strive to be like someone else
You make me lose sight of who I am in the process
And I don't think I can forgive you for that

You're killing me slowly
I'm thinking too much about kids who don't even know me
You make me so sick of myself
And I'd seriously rather be anyone else

Or is that me talking, or is that your voice?
I don't know the difference, sometimes there's no choice
But I stand this say and I say to you that I don't need you
But deep inside, I know I won't let you go

No matter how much I have
you'd always be here
Cuz there's always something I want
and there's someone who has it

You won't ever possibly leave
Beacuse I won't get everything I want
I'm never ever perfect
You're always there to remind me

You're like family
I don't want you
But I can't live without you
