Lyrics:
I watch the newcomers rise with pride I once possessed
Their imperfections are their weapons to their success
And I know I should be happy for them, but I wanted more
What am I striving for

I'm stuck in this cycle again
I run but I can't find the end
They'll tease me with moments of change
But I break before I can bend
