Love and Envy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
"Why is the Rival constantly bullying the Prodigy? And why is the Girl compelled to protect him?"
Girl:
Why do you torment him
Are you jealous?
There must be a reason
You're so cruel
What have you got against him?
Does he scare you?
What did he ever do to you?
Rival:
Oh no, I can't believe
You're falling for this loser
Oh no, I though you knew
That I am so much cooler!
Girl:
Why do you despise him
Are you frightened?
Are you being driven
By your pride?
I think you feel threatened
By his brilliance
But still you admire him
Deep inside
Rival:
Oh no, I can't believe
You're falling for this loser
Oh no, I though you knew
That I am so much cooler!
Oh no, I always thought
That we should be together
Oh no, I really think
That you can do so much better
