Lyrics

You say you love me, but I ain't blind
Every smile feels a step behind
You bring up names I've never met
Like some highlight reel of your regrets
I ain't tryna be a second chance
A project, or a backup plan
You're always comparing me
(Comparing me…)
(Comparing me…)
Every dinner, every drive
Feels like I'm testin' just to qualify
You're always comparing me to
The boy who left, the one who stayed
The guy who prays, the one who plays
The dream you had back at seventeen
Some fairytale I've never seen
You want a cowboy
You want a prep
A pickup truck with Wall Street checks
I ain't him, and he ain't me
But you can't stop comparing me
You're always comparing me
(Comparing me…)
(Comparing me…)
(Comparing me…)
You say I'm solid, say I'm kind
But you miss the thrill you left behind
Like I'm the calm after the storm
But you're still drawn to reckless hearts
I get the sense I'm not enough
Not wild, not tame
just wrong kind of love
You hold my hand
but not my soul
Still reachin' for what you don't hold
You're always comparing me to
The one who laughed, the one who lied
The one who left and made you cry
The storybook you keep on readin'
Even when it ends in bleedin'
You want danger, you want peace
A rebel heart who finds his knees
I ain't him and he ain't me
But you can't stop comparing me
You're always comparing me
(Comparing me…)
(Comparing me…)
I ain't perfect, I ain't fake
But I'm real enough to walk away
If I ain't who you see forever with
Then stop stringin' me along for it
You're always comparing me to
The ghost of who you thought you'd marry
The songs you skip to feel less heavy
You want the past without the pain
You want the sun without the rain
You want perfect, you want free
But you don't really want me…
Love ain't fair
Truth cuts clean
You want dreams
I want real
This don't heal
Hmmm…
So if I'm not…
What your heart believes
Then stop
Comparing me
Stop comparing me…
(Stop comparing me)
(Comparing me…)
