Compared Child Songtext
von JubyPhonic

Ah, never any good, I′m never any good
I know it because it's true
You don′t have to tell me, I know I never will be
Anywhere as good as her

So stop comparing me to her again
I don't wanna hear it said
Leave me alone right now!
Oh, this aching deep within my heart only weighs me down

Somehow I felt I never was enough
I always try my best, but I can't keep up
A, B, C, D, E, F, G
I could choose any one of them, but what′s the use?
Though I win some, I lose much more
It only gets me blue

It hurts, it hurts me, please make it stop
Or so I keep on wishing though, I know it never really will stop
And then I cry, tears falling down, and I close my eyes
How much better could my life be if I end it here today
And just threw it all away?


Never any good, I′m never any good
I know it because it's true
Isn′t it a given
Nobody believes in anything I love or do?
So that's why I′m giving up, y'know?
Well, I gave up long ago
Leave me alone right now!
But I keep on dreaming, hoping still
Like a fool, somehow

I still recall, though only for a while
I could face the me, as I was that time
V, W and X, Y, Z
I could side with any one of them, but what′s the use?
All my fails take center stage
And only get much worse

It's dark, it's dark, I′m so afraid
And then before I realized, my feet were firmly frozen in place
The things I loved, they fade away from sight
God, I′ve had enough
To the girl beside me, raising up her flag into the sky
Put it down, it's too bright


Never any good, I′m never any good
And yet somehow I still live on
Never living up to any expectation
Yet somehow I still live on
Letting out a quiet sigh as I feel it running from my eyes
Leave me alone right now!
Might as well just end it here, today
Slowly fading out

Parallel lines meeting for the first time
And the first thing she tells me is to leave it all behind?
Are you out of your mind!?

I'm never any good, I′m never any good
I know it because it's true
Even if I try, I′m always far behind
They'd much rather look at you
"So don't pay me any mind," I said
"Never speak to me again"
"Leave me alone right now!"
"I wish someone told me from the start"
"That I would hate you"

Never any good, I′m never any good
She′s talking to me right now
"All of your assumptions start to look presumptuous"
"If you only took a look around"
"You would see the truth, so don't forget"
"I′ll repeat it til the end"
"I really, really love you so!"
"Take a breath again, I'll hold you tight!"
"Hoping that you know"

They′re holding hands
And never letting go
