Well - maybe I am not what you expected and or wanted
Or -
Maybe I am not the flower that you planted
Life has a way of creating distortion, background noise
I am me by choice - yes, that is me with the unsure, yet unwavering voice
Thirty six years of concrete - sure they've made me tough and stoic
Doesn't mean when you hurt me - my heart doesn't bleed historic
I've done the best job that I know - though for some, I have apparently fallen short
Feeling like a frog's relief, on your skin an unwanted wart
Alas I have been made to understand, I guess that..
I'm the string that's all frayed
I'm the blue sky that's greyed
I'm the abortion okay'd
I'm the gamble that never paid
I'm a US Marine - Iraq Mosul midnight raid
But -
I'm the one that's never betrayed
The one that turns night into day
But alas.....I still love you anyway !
