LYRICS
only feel this bad when standing next to you
keeping track of almost everything you do
tried hard to tell you
but i couldn’t find words that felt right
so i drew two shapes down on the page
the one that shined real light took up all of the space
while the other only suffered cause of where it was placed
all the songs
i feared you’d write
the people I thought
you might like
and i’m up all night
saying
i’m nothing but a copycat
so many things you’re real good at
everything you do is classic
held a mirror up to our friendship and
saw these two drawings
one living in
the shadow of the other
growing old
swallowed whole
and it’s true that
I thought they’d all discover
that i’d been hiding all this time
cause i’m just another
lesser version of you
a fabrication of something better
all the songs
i feared you’d write
i wrote ‘em
the people I thought
i loved loved them
you might like
and i’m up every night saying
i’m nothing but a copycat
so many things you’re real good at
everything you do is classic
i woke up one morning
woke up one morning
going out tonight
came up to the mirror, oh ya
to the mirror, oh ya
i didn’t mind
i didn’t mind
(all the good times)
said goodbye to you on the telephone
(doesn’t matter)
ya it doesn’t matter
wherever you go
whatever you say
i will love
i will love
i will love you
and all the songs
