[Verse 1]
I need to log off, I need to step back
Constantly online causing me setbacks, ooh
Every day, see so many people doing the things you do
And they're doing it better, too, oh, woah, woah
Feels like why should I even try
When there's always some other guy
Who's way ahead of you?
But makes it look easy
Why would they need me?
Oh, I hear it now, I'm just being needy
[Pre-Chorus]
I try not to envy you
To get angry, you do it better than me
I try not to hate myself to lose confidence
But you always do it better than me
[Chorus]
I just wanna be loved likе you (I just wanna be loved like)
I just want 'еm to see me, too (I just want 'em to see me)
Just wanna be the one they choose, yeah
I just wanna be loved (Oh no)
[Verse 2]
That's really, really good for you
Yeah, everything you do is cool
It's kind of unbelievable
It's all so unachievable
Yeah, almost inconceivable
I'll never do it like you do
And I know I'll grow into who I'm supposed to be
But self-doubt comes easy and I've tried almost everything
But it just hasn't worked yet
[Pre-Chorus]
I try not to envy you
To get angry, you do it better than me
I try not to hate myself to lose confidence
But you always do it better than me
[Chorus]
I just want to be loved like you
I just want them to see me, too
Just wanna be the one they choose, yeah
I just want to be loved
[Bridge]
Ooh, I hate comparison 'cause it makes me feel lesser than
Striving for perfection thinking somebody will see me then
No, don't get me wrong, really want everybody to succeed
But can we start with me?
Like, why was it her and not me?
Why was it her and not me?
Wish someone could redesign me
To not have this doubt define me
Why was it her and not me?
Why was it her and not me?
Envy is gonna blind me
Why was it her and not me?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Better than me
Try not to hate myself
Lose confidence
[Chorus]
I just wanna be loved like you
I just want 'em to see me, too
Just wanna be the one they choose, yeah
I just wanna be loved
