When I look at you, what I see

Is an elegant swan graceful and free

Your wings are long

And you stand proud

No one seems to mind when you’re loud

Well that’s the difference between you and me

Cuz I’m just an annoying chickadee

You fly so high

You steal the show

But I’m the one stuck in your shadow

I know people prefer you over me

Cuz I’m just an annoying chickadee

I wish I could fly just as high as you

Be looked at as graceful

Them to care if I grew

You have no idea what it is to be me

Just an annoying chickadee

Still, you won’t hesitate to keep going 

I’m crumbling inside without you knowing

You’ll fly higher

You’ll fly faster

But everything I do’s a disaster

All I want is to be free

Why do I have to be the chickadee

When they see you they “oo” and “ah”

Then proceed with an applause 

They don’t notice I’m next to you

If they did, all they’d do is boo

I’m the one that can’t get anything right

“It can’t be hard to just put up a fight”

I try to play along

But I don’t wanna be a swan

Just wish I could prove someone wrong

They’d see me soar

They’d gasp aloud

I know that I could hold the crowd

Just give me a chance

A passing glance

I’m not a swan

But I can try to dance

This must be easy for you

Not me

Guess I’m just a worthless chickadee
