Stop Comparing Me To Him

[Verse 1]

You say you care

But you skim my story

Quote your version of me

Like you memorized it poorly

You hold me up

To a silhouette of him

While the real me stands here

Tucked beneath your whims

[Chorus]

If your love for me is genuine

Why don’t you try to understand me?

I got my own strength

My own shine

If you’d only take a closer look at me

The real me is so much better

Than the picture in your head of him

Please stop comparing me to him

Please stop comparing me to him (oh)

[Verse 2]

You count my flaws

Like they’re souvenirs

But you miss the ways I show up

The quiet things you never hear

I’m tired of shrinking

Just to fit that frame

I’m right in front of you

And you still say his name

[Chorus]

If your love for me is genuine

Why don’t you try to understand me?

I got my own strength

My own shine

If you’d only take a closer look at me

The real me is so much better

Than the picture in your head of him

Please stop comparing me to him

Please stop comparing me to him

[Bridge]

I’m afraid one day I’ll vanish

Into someone I don’t know

Chasing shadows of your standard

Losing everything I own

I don’t want to beg for value

But I’m running out of breath

Either see the way I’m shining

Or let me go instead

[Chorus]

If your love for me is genuine

Why don’t you try to understand me?

I got my own strength

My own shine

If you’d only take a closer look at me

The real me is so much better

Than the picture in your head of him

Please stop comparing me to him

Please stop comparing me to him (oh)

Please stop comparing me to him
