VERSE 1
In the pursuit of acceptance
I hope you know why I chose you
See I cannot accept myself
For all the things that you possess
A nature true and beautiful
By nature things I refuse
So I will not get in your way
Should someone less flawed take you away
CHORUS 1
You were
My friend
Long before this argument
So I
Won't mind
I always knew that this would end
VERSE 2
I know I'm sounding like a cheap
Made for TV film of the week
But what sounds dramatised to you
Means simply you're not in my shoes
I've worn the soles
I broke a lace
I barely walk an old man's pace
So I will not get in your way
Should someone less flawed take you away
REPEAT CHORUS
