Less Than

If you want me to be less than
Amazed by your talent
That just cannot be

If you want me to be less than
Thrilled to see you
That wouldn't be me

And if your own lack of self-worth
Makes you think less of me
Cause I think so much of you

Then you will always see me as
Less than
So much less than I am

Did you think that I'd be less than
Confused by your silence?
Poor, invisible me

Don't expect me to be less than
Broken-hearted
What else should I be?

Because your own lack of self-worth
Makes you think less of me
Cause I think so much of you

And you will always see me as
Less than
So much less than I am

See, I've been a lot of places
Looked into a million faces
And the only one I can't forget is yours
Yours

If you want me to be less than
Lost in your blue eyes
Don't put them on me

If you want me to be less than
Affected by you
How could I not be?

But if your own lack of self-worth
Makes you think less of me
Cause I think so much of you

I guess you'll always see me as
Less than
So much less than I am

Yeah, you will always see me as
Less than
