(Verse 1) In shadows deep, where sunlight fears to tread I watch the world go by, beneath this threadbare head A ragged sheet, a disguise I wear Hoping someone, anyone, might finally care I see you run, electric, bright, and bold Cheeks so rosy, stories to be told Everyone adores you, calls your name with glee Oh, Pikachu, I wish that could be me (Chorus) They call me Mimikyu, a copy, pale and crude They think I'm mocking, misunderstood But it's not hate that fuels this crafted face It's admiration, longing for your place A little jealous, yes, I must confess Of all the warmth and sheer togetherness So I mimic you, it's the only way I know To maybe catch a glimmer of that loving glow (Verse 2) I drew these eyes, the jagged, smiling mouth Tried to capture sunshine, heading south From lonely corners where I hide away Afraid to show the truth, what might they say? They say what's underneath brings only fright A curse, a shadow, stealing all the light So I stay hidden, safe behind this guise Reflecting love I see within your eyes (Chorus) They call me Mimikyu, a copy, pale and crude They think I'm mocking, misunderstood But it's not hate that fuels this crafted face It's admiration, longing for your place A little jealous, yes, I must confess Of all the warmth and sheer togetherness So I mimic you, it's the only way I know To maybe catch a glimmer of that loving glow (Bridge) This sackcloth skin, it isn't meant to jeer It's born from wishing you were standing near From wanting friendship, just a gentle hand Someone to walk beside me in this lonely land You're everything they love, so bright and free If I looked like you, would they love me? (Chorus) They call me Mimikyu, a copy, pale and crude They think I'm mocking, misunderstood But it's not hate that fuels this crafted face It's admiration, longing for your place A little jealous, yes, I must confess Of all the warmth and sheer togetherness So I mimic you, it's the only way I know To maybe catch a glimmer of that loving glow (Outro) Just mimicking... not mocking you... Pikachu... I just... admire you... Underneath my lonely cloth... Just want a friend... Is that too much?... Mimikyu... just wants love...
