lyrics

Yr goin on a trip
Yr doin well in school
And yr lovin every part of yr job
And yr group of friendz is so damn cool

Even when I'm feeling the same way
Why am I not okay?

Why am I envious?
So envious?
I'm really happy for you
But my brain is wired to feel shitty too

Okay
I'm relatively happy
Okay, not really
But why do I gotta be

Envious? So envious?
Feelin really happy for you
But my brain's tellin me not to

When I'm just sad
And I mean really sad
Everyone seems happy, everyone's so happy
But when I feel I've caught a break
Everyone still seems happier than me
But still why do I gotta be

Envious? So envious?
I'm really happy for you
But my brain is wired to feel shitty too

And I don't really know how yr doin
But I'm so quick to assume
That yr doin fine
When none of us are really doin fine

None of us are really doin okay
So why am I so filled with jealousy?
Why can't I be content
Without a tone of resentment?

Envious, so envious
Even when my life is going decent
My brain abandons reason
