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
