Staring at the ceiling, I've been wondering where I went wrong
'Cause everywhere I'm going is another place I don't belong
What if I get halfway to the Moon, and then it all just stops?
And what if every fairytale is just a fairytale, they're all made up?
Why do I always feel like I'm falling behind?
I spend every minute wishing I'm someone else, maybe I need help
'Cause I wanna be anyone but myself
Oh, why am I jealous of a stereotype?
I've been looking in the mirror, and I can't tell, maybe I need help
'Cause I wanna be anyone but myself
I wanna be anyone but myself
I wanna be anyone but—
Every happy feeling is another one that I can't trust
'Cause I'll wake up tomorrow and be certain that I'm not enough
I compete with my friends, I'm not pretty like them
And it drives me insane, I can't imagine success
Right now, I'm just thinking that I might be thinking way too much (yeah)
Why do I always feel like I'm falling behind?
I spend every minute wishing I'm someone else, maybe I need help
'Cause I wanna be anyone but myself
Oh, why am I jealous of a stereotype?
I've been looking in the mirror and I can't tell, maybe I need help
'Cause I wanna be anyone but myself
Oh-woah
I wanna be anyone but myself
I know I should be grateful for the things that I have
And trust me, I am
Still, I wanna be anyone but myself
