lyrics

Look out behind you
Here comes that subtle glance
It's here again to tell me that
I'm better than you
I'm better than you
I'm so much better...

Can't quite convince you
When I'm unsure of me
Deep down I have to tell myself
I'm better than you
I'm better than you
I'm so much better than this

Hands thrust in my pockets,
Dare not look up off the floor
To see the look reminding me
I'm better than you
I'm better than you
I'm so much better...

It's not so much the sound I make
As what I'm trying to say
While deep down I have to tell myself
I'm better than you
I'm better than you
I'm so much better than this

This is not who I am
What I'm supposed to be
Someone much better than me
Someone you'll never see

I came with all the right parts
But all the wrong directions
Not much of an equation to prove that
I'm better than you
I'm better than you
I'm so much better

Bound, gagged, and caged,
My personal best has come of age
And still no one to see how much I'm
I'm better than you
I'm better than you
I'm so much better than this

This is not who I am
What I'm supposed to be
Someone much better than me
Someone you'll never see
