a reason for broken wings

I've been standing in your shadow since we were kids
everybody always liked you more than me
everybody thought you were cooler than me
everybody tried to be your best friend
I never tried because I knew I couldn't win
I accepted the fact that I would never compare to you
I'm used to people telling me how amazing, how funny, how cool, how pretty you are
I always take the back seat
and for the most part, I'm okay with that
I'm accustomed to being second best in every relationship I've ever had
it gets tiresome at times, but I know I can't do anything to change it
I'm helpless, hopeless
I still love you
always have, always will
