I am flawed,

But I am perfect,

I am everything you need.

I am here,

But I am hidden,

In this dance, I'll take the lead

I see you,

But you don't see me,

I'm a back drop on this stage.

I love you,

But you don't love me,

And it puts me in a rage...

Rage...

Rage!!!

Just why am I so invisible,

Just why am I so lost?

I swear that I'll get through to you,

No matter what the cost.

I'm living and I'm breathing,

But my actions they aren't seen.

I've washed my hands so many times,

But they just won't come clean.

I'm a gullible Othello and,

A hesitant Hamlet.

Juliet please notice me,

Or I will have a fit

Goneril is truly cruel,

And Regan is a bitch.

Cordelia is kind of sweet,

But she still can be a witch.

I've been trying and I do not know,

Just how I can say,

That I will love you every day,

And in every single way.

I'm nothing like Iago, so,

I won't stab you in the back.

But sometimes I want to run away,

And then never come back.

But something somewhere wakes me up,

As if I was asleep.

I realize that my silly dreams,

Have locked me in this keep.

No matter how much I may try,

I know I won't get through.

So let me take this sudden lapse,

To merely remind you...

Remind you...

Remind you.

I am flawed,

but I am perfect,

I am everything you need.

I am here,

but I am hidden.

In this dance, I'll take the lead.

I see you,

But you don't see me.

I'm a backdrop on this stage.

I don't love you,

and you don't love me,

Let's put love, back in it's cage...
