Is it dislike or is it fear?
That does so grimly push me here
To this place of disgrace which could so easily end in tears
Am I afraid of what I am?
Or scared of what could have been?
Am I so desperate to be, something that isn't me?

Oh envy, you'll end me, if you carry on like this
Scheming and bitter with a twist
And a squirt of hurt added in the mix

Can't I be happy I ask you?
and my friends they ask it too
I should smile for a while 'cos i'm doing what I like to do
It's just i'm such a foolish guy
And my friends they tell me why
'Cos I like to compete but I shouldn't even need to try

Oh envy, you'll end me, if you carry on like this
Scheming and bitter with a twist
And a squirt of hurt added in the mix

I try to think straight but my mind does reject me
Soon I will fall in the dark

And if it doesn't drive me mad
to be locked in depths so sad
And I will cry with shame
'Cos i'm the only one to blame

Oh envy, you'll end me, if you carry on like this
Scheming and bitter with a twist
And a squirt of hurt added in the mix
