My achievements seem so humble
While you′re making whine from water
While my hand work the cold soil
All you touch turns into gold

And I don′t want to be like you
I don′t want to be like you
It seems like you outrun me every time
I want to be you
Why can′t I erase you from my mind

All the heroes in the gutter
Finally get their ever after
As they lay their final glance
Upon your ever shining armor
And I don′t want to be like you

And I don′t want to be like you
I don′t want to be like you
It seems like you outrun me every time
I want to be you
Why can′t I erase you from my mind

Looking from a distance,
the difference seems so small
Has the grass been greener
on the other side at all?

And I don′t want to be like you
I don′t want to be like you
It seems like you outrun me every time
I want to be you
Why can′t I erase you from my mind
