(I’m Your) Regular Scarecrow

[Verse 1] I wear torn sleeves and boots with holes, Threadbare jeans and eyeliner soul. You said I looked like something lost, Like fashion dragged through too much frost. [Chorus] I’m your regular scarecrow, The one you don’t claim but always know. I stand out loud while you lay low — Still guarding your heart like it’s mine to hold. [Verse 2] You laugh with friends and I stay still, A shadow stitched against your will. You once said I was hard to miss, But only kissed me in the mist. [Chorus] I’m your regular scarecrow, Unloved in daylight, sweet in shadow. You wore me proud when the nights got cold — But I was never for show, just for soul. [Bridge] And I don’t care if they call me weird, I’ve made a home in the things they feared. You kept me close like a secret bruise, But I was the one you always used. [Final Chorus] I’m your regular scarecrow, Ugly chic in the afterglow. I’ll never fit your status quo, But you’ll miss me more than you’ll ever show. [End]
