Your talent outshines all that I could ever do or say



and me and my jealousy, I stole your songs and passed them off as my own



As much as I would like for it not to show



you can smell the stink on my breath and in my clothes, it's so obvious



oh if I could only be half the things you write about in your songs



if I could only mean half as much to anyone

and in my arrogance I write pages of anger hate and spite



all of the reasons I have to trust... absolutely no one



today I heard you on my stereo and it shamed me,



yes it shamed me to think that I could be so unoriginal



oh if I could only be half the genius that you are



to feel such honest want, to show love



I would show you love



I would show you love



I would show you love



oh if I could only feel half as resolute in my beliefs,



if I could only sing with such bravery



I can not explain how much you mean to me



without your words, I would be lost.
