I am the picture of imperfection
The one tossed in the drawer
Waiting for you to see with just the right eyes
The layers of complexity where my beauty lies

Here I am without you alone with myself
And I wonder will you ever see me for yourself

I am the knight in tainted armor
The one that doesn’t shine
But if you’d look past all the tarnish
Would you see the soul of the man that’s inside

I am the tree deep in the forest
The one that you don’t hear
But if you cut me down in silence
The echoes of my nothingness slowly disappear

Standing here without you alone with myself
And I wonder will this always be my journey through this life

I am the undiscovered lover
The one that you don’t choose
But if you stopped to taste my kisses
You would discover the sweetest lover that you knew
