kristen anderson-lopez – more than just the spare – outtake lyrics

spare?
am i really just the spare?
i’m not part of the town, not born to be queen
just somebody hopelessly in-between
she’s the scholar, athlete, poet
i’m the screw up, don’t i know it
but then who could ever compare
of course they’re gonna think i’m just the spare
well, i won’t care
so i’m the extra b-tton on a coat
in case another one comes loose
but if i have to be a b-tton
why can’t i be a b-tton that’s of use?
oops
i may lack style and i may lack grace
and once in a while i’ll fall on my face
but this little b-tton deserves a place in the sky
this b-tton wants to fly
wait! b-ttons can’t fly, that doesn’t make any sense
so i’m a rusty horseshoe hanging up over somebody’s old barn door
and i’ll be hanging there forever just wishing the horse had one leg more
and maybe i can’t be the perfect one
and maybe i’m air at the side of fun
but horseshoes need a chance to run somewhere
this horseshoe is more than just a spare
someday i’ll find my thing, a thing that’s all my own
that thing that makes me part of something not just all alone
if only all these feelings i have in my heart
could mean something to someone
how i’d love to play that part
so i’m just a second born sister
who most of the town ignores
like a b-tton, like a horseshoe
like a girl who’s bad at metaph0r-s
maybe i don’t have a magic touch
maybe i don’t have a talent as such
just this heart with much too much to share
so i’ll never be the air
but i’m more than just the spare
sorry
