Kappa - (I Wanna Be) Happy For You

People think they're better than me
Just because they're better than me
No, no, I know that doesn't make any sense
I'm just not that blessed with self-confidence

When they mention their friends to me
I'm overcome by jealousy
I don't know how to articulate their virtues and seek
A friend's approval without my tongue in my cheek

And I know, I know that's we're all equal
But that's not the way I feel

I can't cheer for your victories
Again envy's leaving me
Hanging on for dear life on the precipice
Between self-awareness and self-consciousness

I don't wanna tell you the truth
I just wanna be happy for you
Why do I think you think you're too good?
Why can't I be there as a friend should?

And I know, I know that's we're all equal
But that's not the way I feel

I can't tell you how I feel
I can't tell you how to do so too
I can't tell you who I am
I can't tell you how I feel about you

I can feel the thinker on my left
I think the feeler's on my right
The warp drive busted, broken open
The captain twisted, out of control
I know, I know
I'm playing tricks on myself
