Compared Child

Ah, never any good, I'm never any good
I know it because it's true
You don't have to tell me, I know I never will be
Anywhere as good as her
So stop comparing me to her again
I don't want to hear it said
Leave me alone right now!
Oh this aching deep within my heart
Only weighs me down

Somehow I felt, it never was enough
I always try my best, but I can't keep up

A B C D E F G
I could choose any one of them, but what's the use?
Though I win some, I lose much more
It only gets me blue

It hurts, it hurts me, please make it stop!
Or so I keep on wishing, though I know it never really will stop
And then I cry, tears falling down, and I close my eyes
How much better would my life be if it ended here today
And just threw it all away?

Ah, never any good, I'm never any good
I know it because it's true
Isn't it a given, nobody believes in
Anything I love or do?

So that's why I'm giving up you know?
Well I gave up long ago
Leave me alone right now!
But I keep on dreaming, hoping still...
Like a fool, somehow...

I still recall, though only for a while
I could face the me as I was that time

V W & X Y Z
I could side with any one of them but what's the use?
All my fails take center stage
And only get much worse

It's dark, it's dark, I'm so afraid
And then before I realized my feet were firmly frozen in place
The things I loved, they fade away from sight, god I've had enough
To the girl beside me raising up her flag into the sky
Put it down, it's too bright

Never any good, I'm never any good
And yet somehow I still live on
Never living up to any expectation
Yet somehow I still live on

Letting out a quiet sigh as I
Feel it running from my eyes
Leave me alone right now!
Might as well just end it here today
Slowly fading out

Parallel lines meeting for the first time
And the first thing she tells me is to leave it all behind?
Are you out of your mind?

Ah, never any good, I'm never any good
I know it because it's true
Even if I try, I'm always far behind
They'd much rather look at you

So don't pay me any mind, I said
Never speak to me again
Leave me alone right now!
I wish someone told me from the start
That I would hate you

Never any good, I'm never any good
She's talking to me right now
All of your assumptions start to look presumptuous
If you only took a look around

You would see the truth, so don't forget
I'll repeat it till the end
I really reallly love you so!
Take a breath again, I'll hold you tight
Hoping that you know...

They're holding hands, and never letting go
