v1.
Am I running with the right crowd?
Am I wearing the right brand?
Do you approve the type of car I drive?
Do I stream the proper bands?
Did you see my newest Tiktok?
Did you like my latest tweet?
I think I might be too concerned
With what you think of me.

Chorus
Compared to me I’m better
Than I was yesterday
Compared to me it’s progress
Towards finding a better way
I shouldn’t have to care about it
But, I think that you’ll agree
I’m liking what I’m see
Compared to me

V2.
I need to take a step back
I need to re-evaluate
Am I giving things of value?
Or am I only on the take?
Why do I feel I need approval?
Why do I feel I must fit in?
I need to get back to doing
The right things for me again.

Chorus
Compared to me I’m better
Than I was yesterday
Compared to me it’s progress
Towards finding a better way
I don’t have to care about it
But, I think that you’ll agree
I’m liking what I see
Compared to me

Bridge
It’s time to get back to doing
The right things for the right reasons
I’m just a work in progress
That’s nowhere near completion

Chorus
Compared to me I’m better
Than I was yesterday
Compared to me it’s progress
Towards finding a better way
I don’t have to care about it
But, I think that you’ll agree
I’m liking what I see
Compared to me

Outro
I don’t need your approval
I’m glad I finally see
I only need to compare myself
To me
