Your back that is shining
It is you that i am chasing
To become like you, i am dreaming

How can someone from the past
Live in the present and can easily surpass
The me who you walked past

They kept comparing me to you
Saying how much better you were
And you dont even have a clue
How much it hurts, because its true

The fact that it is you
Is what hurts the most
Because you are the person
that i have lost

They kept comparing me to you
Saying how great you were

I am hurt
I am angry
For i am you
And you are me
But how is it that you are always greater than me?

They kept bringing up the past
Competitions won
Awards gotten
Honors received
A bright future ahead

But guess what?
Your future is my present!
The bright future they said is the moment I am living now
But it isn't as bright as they've hoped
Because at me no one bothers to look
Because at the me who was you, they always looked back

But hey cant you see
That person is still me
Please don't just look back
And please look at the current me
Accept the real me

You were bright
You were me
But now this is how i came to be
So please just...

Huhh....
It just hurts when they compare you with other people. And it hutrs more when they compare you with your past glories that you cannot achieve now. It just susck. It just hurts.
