invisible.

just a small-town girl,
who'd never been looked at twice.
i was the kind of girl
that nobody noticed.
i slid under the radar,
because that was all i knew.

i was always just 'one of the boys',
none of 'em ever noticed me.
it never bothered me, i guess,
because it was all i knew.
that is, until i was the odd one out.
everybody had somebody,
except for me.

until you.

just a simple coworker,
somebody that i would have never noticed.
but you said hi,
and i had to work with you.
it wasn't long before you got under my skin,
learned who i was, what made me tick.
you showed me what it was like
to care about another individual.

you, of all people,
showed me what it was like to love.
just a guy in a broken relationship,
one who'd never been treated properly,
but you never cared about any of that.
you pushed it aside,
forgot about how she hurt you,
and worried about fixing me.
broken, little ol' me,
who'd never had nobody care about her.

you,
just a bruised boy,
showed me how to love.
