See me not crawling on my knees, I walk with no self pity. Mistakes are these badges on my lapel I see that you don't wear yours as well. I'm in an army that will provide this protection. I think of you less, your face of perfection. I love the idea of loving you, But ideas are ideal and you are real. See me not crawling on my knees, I walk with no self pity. I sit now surrounded in love, you sit a world away. Your flaws have destroyed me Your love has sustained me That love is gone And I'm still strong.
