jealousy jealousy
Olivia Rodrigo Lyrics

I kinda wanna throw my phone across the room
The sight of so-called 'perfect' girls on social media is getting to me and making me frustrated.

'Cause all I see are girls too good to be true
Whenever I look online, it seems like all the girls I see have idealized lives that don't feel realistic.

With paper-white teeth and perfect bodies
I see a lot of people online who look flawless, physically speaking. It makes me feel bad about myself sometimes.

Wish I didn't care
I know I shouldn't let what I see online affect me this way, but I can't help it sometimes, so I wish it didn't bother me so much.

I know their beauty's not my lack
I understand that just because some people are 'prettier' than me according to societal standards, it doesn't mean I am lacking in any way.

But it feels like that weight is on my back
Despite knowing that I shouldn't compare myself to others or feel insecure, the weight of insecurity still feels very heavy on me.

And I can't let it go
I'm having a hard time shaking these feelings and moving on from comparing myself to other people online.

Com-comparison is killin' me slowly
Comparing myself to others is really damaging my mental and emotional health, and it's happening gradually over time.

I think I think too much 'bout kids who don't know me
I spend a lot of time thinking about people who don't actually know me, which is silly and unproductive.

I'm so sick of myself, I'd rather be, rather be
I'm tired of feeling this way about myself -- I wish I could be someone else entirely, just to escape these negative feelings.

Anyone, anyone else, but jealousy, jealousy
I don't want to be defined by my jealousy and insecurity - I want to be someone else entirely.

Started followin' me
These negative thoughts and feelings have started to take over my life and influence how I view myself and others.

And I see everyone gettin' all the things I want
It seems like everyone else is able to achieve the things I want with ease, while I struggle to feel like I measure up.

I'm happy for them, but then again, I'm not
Although I'm trying to be a supportive friend, it's hard not to feel jealous and envious of others sometimes, even if I am happy for them.

Just cool vintage clothes and vacation photos
The things other people post online - like travel photos, stylish clothes, and other aspirational things - just make me feel bad about what I don't have.

I can't stand it, oh God, I sound crazy
These negative feelings make me feel like I'm going a little bit insane, or at least like I'm being irrational.

Their win is not my loss
I need to remember that just because other people have good things and are happy, it doesn't mean I am losing or coming up short myself.

I know it's true, but I can't help getting caught
Even though I know I shouldn't compare myself to others or feel inferior, these feelings are hard to shake and keep popping back up.

Up in it all
This insecurity and jealousy is a pervasive feeling that has been difficult to escape.

All your friends are so cool, you go out every night
It feels like everyone else has a seemingly perfect social life with tons of friends and fun things to do all the time.

In your daddy's nice car, yeah, you're livin' the life
Some people seem to have all the material comforts and luxuries with no real struggles or challenges to deal with.

Got a pretty face, pretty boyfriend, too
Some people seem to have the full package - a lot of physical beauty, as well as a great partner or significant other.

I wanna be you so bad and I don't even know you
Without even knowing some of these people, I still can't help but feel jealous of their seemingly perfect lives and situations.

All I see is what I should be
When I look at others online, it's hard not to compare myself and my life to theirs and feel like I'm coming up short in some way.

Happier, prettier, jealousy, jealousy
I get caught up in thinking that I would only be happier and more attractive if I had what other people seem to have.

I'm losin' it, all I get's jealousy, jealousy
These feelings of jealousy and insecurity have been building up over time, and I feel like they are starting to consume me entirely.

Oh, I'm so sick of myself, I'd rather be, rather be (oh)
I can't stand feeling negative and insecure all the time - I would rather just be someone else entirely, if it meant escaping these feelings.

Anyone, anyone else, jealousy, jealousy
These feelings of jealousy and insecurity are overwhelming and are making me feel like I want to escape my own life entirely.
