[Verse]
It’s killing me to see that you’re killing it
And I’m so ashamed to say that out loud
I wish I could be like the girls on TV that are only ever so fuckin' proud
Of their friends and their successes
What’s mine is yours
And all of that grown up shit
And I wish that I could say that I’ve grown up too
But even I have to admit
[Chorus]
It stings a little bit
That you’ve won the game
And i’m on the bench getting buzzed
I just need a little hit
To numb the pain
Of knowing I’m the
Has been that never was
Yeah, it stings a little bit
It stings like a bitch
[Verse]
I’m dying inside just a little bit
Watching you live the life of my dreams
It’s so damn feral like a nightmare but real
I’m pulling my hair and I can’t sleep
I know I should be honored to know you
And I know you deserve it too
But the eighth grade green eyed monster
Is crying, why can’t it be me instead of you
[Chorus]
It stings a little bit
That you’ve won the game
And I’m on the bench getting buzzed
I just need a little hit
To numb the pain
Of knowing I’m the
Has been that never was
Yeah, it stings a little bit
It stings like a bitch
[Chorus]
It stings a little bit you won the game
And I’m not even on the board
I just need a little hit to numb the pain
Of shooting down my pride at the door
It stings a little bit
That you’ve won the game
And I’m on the bench getting buzzed
I just need a little hit
To numb the pain
Of knowing I’m the
Has been that never was
Yeah, it stings a little bit
It stings like a bitch
It stings like a bitch
It stings like a bitch
It stings like a bitch
