I am the only sunshine. I am the brightest star

I am the perfect woman. I am the silly clown

I am the one you wanted. I'm missed when I am gone

I am the new beginning when all is said and done

 

I am the secret lover. I am the pretty one 

I am the silent whisper. I am the hidden scar 

I am the wandering pilgrim. I am the golden rule 

I am the one who matters. I paint your skies un-blue

 

I am the mess, the order. I am the brilliant cut

I am a thousand stories that penetrate your mind 

I am the one you wanted, no matter, come what may 

I am your dream, your nightmare. I do just what I say 

 

I am the loving girlfriend. I am the faithful wife 

I am the doting mother. I am the key to life

I am the one you're scared of. I am the one you flee 

I am the one you wanted the others not to see

 

I am the one who's loving your flaws and quiet voice

I am the one who's leaving it all to be your choice

I am the one who's worth it, I am the one who's free

You are the one who's lost me. The one who’s failed to see
