I've always been
the type of guy
who hid in the spotlight

Ignoring the stares
or glares
or rumors spread

Just being who I be
and working it to the best
of my abilities

Then you left
and I crumbled
dropped it all

Everything that ever made up
my "me" was then on a lie
and with that so were you

People asked what happened
and I'd blame it on anyone
anything but you

I used to be handsome
and popular
athletic

Then I dropped it
all for
you

I'm that guy who hid in the spotlight,
but without you here
there is no light to shine.
