Sometimes I'm jealous of my brother
For something that he didn't do
He looks like he could land the cover
Of some magazine in our living room
And he got our mom's eyes
And I just got in fights with her
Our grandparents don't turn away
Or not know what to say
When he takes off his shirt
Everybody loves him, 'cause what's not to adore?
He's not a discussion, just walks right through their door
I don't want him to wonder the way I have before
Would my family like me more
If I was something like my brother?
(If I was something like my brother)
They'll make him carry out their story
Because they all gave up on mine
Funny, they tried to write it for me
And I know they hope that I'll change my mind
What would it feel like
If I could just fit right in their world?
But I watch them all turn away
They don't know what to say
When I take off my shirt
Everybody loves him, 'cause what's not to adore?
He's not a discussion, just walks right through their door
I don't want him to wonder the way I have before
Would my family like me more
If I was something like my brother?
(If I was something like my brother)
He knows what they call me outside the room
If they ask me to leave then he's leaving too
Maybe they would call me and listen this time
I'd be someone that they'd like
If they were something like my brother
Everybody loves him, 'cause what's not to adore?
He's not a discussion, just walks right through their door
I don't want him to wonder the way I have before
Would my family like me more
If I was something like my brother?
I'm sure my family'd like me more
If I was something like my brother
If I was something like my brother
Wish they were something like my brother
