Nothin's missing

A song about comparing

Verse 1

I was doing just fine, had my feet on the ground

Till I heard your story, yeah it spun me around

You sounded so sure, so ahead of the game

And suddenly my life didn’t feel the same

Chorus (ear-worm hook)
🎶 Nothing’s missing, nothing’s wrong

Nothing broke, life goes on

I didn’t lose, I didn’t fail

I bought a story, it was on sale

Nothing’s missing — nothing’s wrong

This is it, and it’s full of song 🎶

Verse 2

I didn’t feel bad till I listened too hard

Borrowed your future, raised the bar

Started measuring pace, timing, worth

Comparing your map to my own dirt

Chorus

🎶 Nothing’s missing, nothing’s wrong

Nothing broke, life goes on

I didn’t lose, I didn’t fail

I bought a story, it was on sale

Nothing’s missing — nothing’s wrong

This is it, and it’s full of song 🎶

Verse 3

It’s not that I’m lacking, it’s not that I’m late

I just swallowed an image and called it my fate

Expectation got loud, reality shrank

That “something’s missing” was a trick of the brain

Chorus

🎶 Nothing’s missing, nothing’s wrong

Nothing broke, life goes on

I didn’t lose, I didn’t fail

I bought a story, it was on sale

Nothing’s missing — nothing’s wrong

This is it, and it’s full of song 🎶

Bridge (break it down, chant-ready)

Compare and the pressure goes up

Compare and the present dries up

Compare and you feel incomplete

But stop — and you’re back in your seat

Final Chorus (double-time feel)

🎶 Nothing’s missing, hear it clear

Nothing left, nothing disappeared

This moment’s whole, no correction

Lack is only expectation

Nothing’s missing — no revision

Just a thought-built superstition 🎶

Outro (spoken)

Nothing is missing.

You just believed the comparison.
