"I Am Nothing Special" lyrics

I never had the words to make it sound like much
No poetry, no grand design, no golden touch
Just a man who showed up every single day
And hoped that being present was enough to make you stay

I don't have a legacy, I don't have a name
That anyone would carve in stone or remember when I came
But I had something quieter, something no one else could see
I had you looking back at me like I was all you'd ever need

But in your love a world was mine to hold
A story worth much more than purest gold
My greatest masterpiece, my only art
Was giving you my whole entire heart

I am nothing special, I have always known that's true
But the ordinary life I had was extraordinary through you
Every unremarkable Tuesday felt like something more
When you were sitting on the other side of every door

I've been trying to remember how to say this right
Searching through the pages for the words I wrote that night
They're all still there, the whole of it, the mess and the sublime
Every ordinary moment I was lucky to call mine

But in your love a world was mine to hold
A story worth much more than purest gold
My greatest masterpiece, my only art
Was giving you my whole entire heart

Nothing special, just a man who loved you well
Nothing special, just a story worth to tell
The kind that doesn't need the grandest stage
Just two people and a life lived page by page

But in your love a world was mine to hold
A story worth much more than purest gold
My greatest masterpiece, my only art
Was giving you my whole entire heart
