Crumpled Up Piece Of Paper Lyrics

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
