Lyrics

[Verse 1] Me, and my helmet, such an un-conventional kid All intense and kinetic, at best tolerated from afar Not yet arrested, and by that I mean betrothed Though a start I am newly courted I've just not been trusted with alters [Chorus] I'm a sweet piece of work, well intentioned, yet disturbed Wrongly label-ed and under-fed, treated like a rose as an orchid [Verse 2] My friends, as they weigh in, get understandably protective They have a hard time being objective So inside we cancel each other out [Chorus] I'm a sweet piece of work, well intentioned and unloved Unlabeled and misunderstood, treated like a rose as an orchid [Bridge] You've brought water to me, making sure my bloom rebounds You know best of what my special care allows [Verse 3] So I've lived in my blind spot Thought myself usual when I'm not And your garden is a nice spot As long as it is brave and where you are [Outro] For this sweet piece of work, high maintenance and deserted I've been different and deserving, treated like a rose as an orchid Sweet piece of work, overwhelmed, un-observed I've been bowed down to but so misread Treated like a rose as an orchid
