  • I kinda wanna throw my phone across the room
    'Cause all I see are girls too good to be true
    With paper-white teeth and perfect bodies
    Wish I didn't care

    I know their beauty's not my lack
    But it feels like that weight is on my back
    And I can't let it go

    Com-comparison is killin' me slowly
    I think I think too much 'bout kids who don't know me
    I'm so sick of myself, I'd rather be, rather be
    Anyone, anyone else, but jealousy, jealousy
    Started followin' me
    Started followin' me

    And I see everyone gettin' all the things I want
    I'm happy for them, but then again, I'm not
    Just cool vintage clothes and vacation photos
    I can't stand it, oh God, I sound crazy

    Their win is not my loss
    I know it's true, but I can't help getting caught
    Up in it all

    Co-com-comparison is killin' me slowly
    I think I think too much 'bout kids who don't know me
    I'm so sick of myself, rather be, rather be
    Anyone, anyone else, but jealousy, jealousy

    Yeah
    All your friends are so cool, you go out every night
    In your daddy's nice car, yeah, you're livin' the life
    Got a pretty face, pretty boyfriend, too
    I wanna be you so bad and I don't even know you
    All I see is what I should be
    Happier, prettier, jealousy, jealousy
    All I see is what I should be
    I'm losin' it, all I get's jealousy, jealousy

    Com-comparison is killin' me slowly
    I think I think too much 'bout kids who don't know me
    And I'm so sick of myself, rather be, rather be (oh, oh)
    Anyone, anyone else (anyone else), jealousy, jealousy
    Oh, I'm so sick of myself, I'd rather be, rather be (oh)
    Anyone, anyone else, jealousy, jealousy
    Started followin' me Writer/s: Casey Cathleen Smith, Daniel Leonard Nigro, Olivia Rodrigo

  • Anonymous, from Anonymous,I get the song because I feel like I should be like one of the "popular" kids because it makes me feel like a outcast and it sucks.
