Wake up late, check my phone again Same old feed, same perfect friends New job, new place, new life they planned I’m still here where I began Coffee cold on the windowsill Bills stack up, but I’m standing still They’re moving fast, I’m losing time Every post feels like a sign I know it’s curated, I know it’s fake But it still hits every time I break Everyone’s doing better than me Smiling in pictures I’ll never be in They’re all ahead, I’m stuck in between Who I was and who I should’ve been Lights flash bright on a life I don’t see Everywhere I look, it’s someone else’s dream Tell me why it feels so real to me Like everyone’s doing better than me Friday night and I stayed inside Watched their stories pass me by Neon lights, they’re out alive I’m just trying to feel alright Same four walls, same ceiling fan Same old doubts I can’t outrun They look so sure, they look so free Like they’ve become what I can’t be I know it’s angles, I know it’s lies But it still cuts every time I try Everyone’s doing better than me Smiling in pictures I’ll never be in They’re all ahead, I’m stuck in between Who I was and who I should’ve been Lights flash bright on a life I don’t see Everywhere I look, it’s someone else’s dream Tell me why it feels so real to me Like everyone’s doing better than me Maybe I’m just late, not lost Maybe I’m just counting the cost Of comparing every step I take To a highlight reel I didn’t make Maybe I’m right where I should be Even if it doesn’t look like anything Everyone’s doing better than me They’re all ahead, I’m somewhere unseen But I’m still here, still chasing something Lights flash bright but I’m learning to see There’s more to life than what’s on a screen Tell me why I forget so easily Not everyone’s doing better than me Not everyone’s doing better than me Yeah… maybe I just couldn’t see
