Crumpled Up Piece Of Paper

If you put in the work You're gonna see results Who do you want to be? How do you want to live? And will you be controlled by your selfish desires? I'm gonna put up a fight And not pretend that I've been victimized I've still got far to go I'll be the first to show what most internalize That I don't like who I was before I met you Art is constantly refined But it's the only way that it'll turn out right Any idea that didn't go as planned Becomes a crumpled up piece of paper Someone threw in the trashcan Life is full of mistakes It's how we are reshaped Sometimes it ebbs and flows Sometimes what seems controlled Is all to help us change The flaws we choose to ignore I know I'm nothing But to you I'm prized This train of thought has helped me realize That I'm on my way To being better than ashamed And that's who I am today I breathe in I breathe out I breathe in again And now I'm completely new And I can leave that life behind Art is constantly refined But it's the only way that it'll turn out right Any idea that didn't go as planned Becomes a crumpled up piece of paper Someone threw in the trashcan So I ask, "Who am I to be counted as valuable in your eyes?" If at the end of the day you are my only friend At least I'm not some crumpled up piece of paper That you threw in the trashcan There's something you see in me that I can't seem to understand How is there something about me that I can't see in myself When you do? Art is constantly refined But it's the only way that it'll turn out right Any idea that didn't go as planned Becomes a crumpled up piece of paper Someone threw in the trashcan So I ask, "Who am I to be counted as valuable in your eyes?" If at the end of the day you are my only friend At least I'm not some crumpled up piece of paper That you threw in the trashcan
