Comparison Kills
by Jonathan McReynolds

Album: Make Room

Intro
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm

Verse 1
I can only speak from my world
Where almost everyone has what they need
Other nations live with sickness
But over here we die from jealousy

Chorus 1
'Cause it makes you chase what's not meant to be chased
'Cause you've possessed it all along
It comes to steal and hide what is real
Comparison kills

Verse 2
You spend all night admiring pictures
They make life perfect as they should
But you don't know the picture story
And how long it took to make it good

Chorus 2
It makes you consider shoes you don't like
But when that shoe doesn't fit
Wear what you will despite how they feel
Comparison kills

Bridge
The grass is fine
'Til it looked greener on the other side
Now you're believing that you fell behind
But why try to match what should be one of a kind?
You're one of a kind

Verse 3
We all wanna be successful
And get mad when God's not in a rush
Waste your time just making copies
You'll see you did not accomplish much

Chorus 3
Pressure gets hot and with heat come mirages
So you think it's cool over there
Your thirst is real
But water can't fill what comparison kills
Mmm, He feels what You feel
So ask God to heal what comparison kills

Spoken
Can I be indulgent, like a songwriter?
Can I sing one more line, one more time?

Chorus 3
Pressure gets hot and with heat come mirages
So you think it's cool over there
Your thirst is real
But water can't fill what comparison kills
