"STILL I STARE… AND COMPARE" lyrics

"STILL I STARE… AND COMPARE"

I can see what you're doing
And it's working
Smart girl
I'm taking notes undercover
"I just love her"
Smart girl

Overcompensate
Never name it hate
I'll only be kind
Yet I stare
And compare
Her worth to mine

I've made no means to combat it
Problematic
Sad girl
Another wrong invitation
A fixation
Sad girl

Don't think I hide it well
I know they all can tell
Why I'll only be kind
Still I stare
And compare
Her worth to mine

Do you think I'm crazy?
Do you think I'm honest?
Is there anything endearing?
Is this envy chronic?
Am I helplessly in love with you or myself?

Practice in the mirror
Smile's a little crooked
I'll give back her haircut later
'Cause I already took it
I'm on the edge of something
God, she's so hypnotic
I could be her best friend
I could be psychotic

So there
Guess the weight
It all comes from me

Smart girl
Smart girl
Smart girl
Girl
Smart girl
Smart girl
