No Merit to Envy

A Loss For Words

You try to make me feel stuck while you break into stride

But we're both too stubborn to swallow our pride

But I step back and take a look at our lives

And realize that mine is one of a kind

You wake up, you go to work

You fake love you marry her

A formulaic purgatory

And I know you'll never learn

That you cant take most things to your grave

What do you have when its taken away

What warrants my envy

There's no merit for envy

I'm done feeling half empty

There's no merit for envy

So you try to console yourself through other peoples lives

But I'll I'll be busy living experiencing mine

And by the time we're old

As our lives unfold

Will you be able to tell the stories that you could've told

Years pass, you looking back

Blaming her for your regrets

You scrutinize the present

And that's what makes up your past

And I'm not one to laugh in your face

But I told you so would be the right thing to say

What warrants my envy

There's no merit for envy

I've been all that I can be

There's no merit for envy

There it is

Its plain as day

All the envy has turned the other way

All you are is a living example

Of a life I can never relate to

So you try to console yourself through other people's lives

But I'll be busy living experiencing mine

And by the time we're old

As our lives unfold

Will you be able to tell the stories that you could've told
