LYRICS: You Are Everything (I'm Not)

Six-foot-tall and a smile that lights up the dark
Yeah damn, you are the kind of person
That this little heart of mine goes for

Curly hair and an infectious laugh
Yeah, you are the only person
That makes me laugh along with you

I know that you won’t notice me
Watching you strut your stuff
Like the person I wish I could be

Confident, smart and dead set dreamy
You are everything that I will never be
Sorry for my low-down jealousy

I’m the nervous, scared little girl
Who can only dream of being like you
You are everything I know I can’t be

Athletic and amazingly co ordinated
You’ve got your life all planned
While I stare at question marks in my head

Sing and play a guitar like a pro
While I stand here swaying to and fro
Singing “Its not easy being green”


I know that you won’t notice me
Watching you strut your stuff
Like the person, I wish I could be

Confident, smart and dead set dreamy
You are everything that I will never be
Sorry for my low-down jealousy

I’m the nervous, scared little girl
Who can only dream of being like you
You are everything I know I can’t be

How can I ever live up to your standards?
When you constantly blow me away
Shouldn’t have gotten out of bed today

I know that you won’t notice me
Watching you strut your stuff
Like the person, I wish I could be

Confident, smart and dead set dreamy
You are everything that I will never be
Sorry for my low-down jealousy

I’m the nervous, scared little girl
Who can only dream of being like you

You are everything I know I can’t be
