I was never here to compete with him
My main purpose was to make you smile
I know my chances are very slim
But every chance is worth the while

I don’t compare him to myself
To try and change the way I am
I want you to see me for yourself
How I can be more than a man

I don’t write poems just to woo you
I don’t play music just to trick your heart
I do it because it is what I love to do
And it’s my favorite kind of art

So don’t question the love that I have
I don’t do it because I want to be wanted
My intentions are genuine and innocent
Because it’s more pure that I ever imagined
