Things have always seemed to come so easy to you You were always the more beautiful one of us two Friends were always flocking Boys were always knocking People were always talking Oh how I wished to be you Oh how that is no longer true If only I knew The price at which your popularity grew It's funny looking back How we envied one another for what we thought we ourselves lacked I envied you for your popularity You envied mom and dads affection for me    I just wanted to be liked by my peers You just wanted to be liked by our parents But now I think we both see The grass isn't always greener On the other side
