I can see now how your prefer Her "features", you elegantly called them Even the inanimate spotlight loves her She is like a sparkling gem You put her on such a high shelf That it makes me doubt myself She makes me feel so bland When next to her I stand But every gem lacks luster Away from the spotlight she's under Less sparkle, less clear If you could see the difference, you would shed a tear Maybe you would finally see How she is not so different from me.

Out of the Spotlight
I can see now how your prefer Her "features", you elegantly called them Even the inanimate spotlight loves her She is like a sparkling gem You put her on such a high shelf That it makes me doubt myself She makes me feel so bland When next to her I stand But every gem lacks luster Away from the spotlight she's under Less sparkle, less clear If you could see the difference, you would shed a tear Maybe you would finally see How she is not so different from me.
