i watch you sleeping, well you ain't keeping no secrets from me

i know where you wanna be

you're always keeping warm in my burgundy bed

and i'm in my nervous head 



you insult my intelligence, when you tell me he's just a friend

and now i can't sleep 



'cause i know i can't compete

not with niko, he's a painter, he's so zen 



you're always fishing, wishing i'd come and hug a tree

but i need to feel concrete

now don't go thinking just 'cause i run like a rat in a maze

that my heart ain't in the right place 



it's a bad situation, a hazard of my occupation

i got no time for peace 



so i know i can't compete, i ain't complete

not like niko, he's a painter, he's so zen 



i can't compete, i know i can't compete

not with niko, no no 



i can't compete, i'm incomplete
