More Is Better

I was alone a lot
 Mostly observing things
 Like hyenas and migrations
 And who cares?
 Now I have all these friends
 I'm never by myself
 I mean, look at all those people downstairs
 More is always better
 More people know my name
 I have more shoes
 More is always better
 Cause when you have less
 You have more to lose
 Wait, that's confusing
 See, I don't mind alone
 Sometimes alone is good
 'Cause time to think is in short supply
 You haven't been alone
 Try Kenya with one phone
 Almost no people
 Just like animals and sky
 Do you know what I had more of?
 Stars
 So many stars at night
 But here there's so much light
 I see them less now
 Plus, I'm always cold because the air-conditioned air
 Though in fairness, that could be how I dress now
 Whatever, I look cuter
 It worked, like pretending I needed a tutor
 Pretending?
 Yeah, I pretended to be bad at math to get you to talk to me
 Why didn't you just talk to me?
 Because of Regina
 Because you were her property...
 Her property?
 No, shut up, not her property...
 Don't tell me to shut up
 You are, like, a clone of Regina
 What? No!
 I am more, I am better
 And no one likes you more
 Not anyone, not her
 More is always better
 Don't look at me that way
 What girl would you prefer?
 I would prefer the girl you were
 Not who you're trying to be
 You think this works with me?
 Well, you thought wrong
 Looking at this place
 I see you trying to erase
 What is best about yourself just to belong
 You say more is always better
 But there is less of you than there was before
 So, if more is always better
 Then you should have thought it through a bit more
 I should have thought it through a bit...
 You know what I had more of?
 Stars...
