Story behind the song

It's about having to change our ways to make the person we love, love us back.

Lyrics

Misshapen 
by Imran Ajmain

I wear my soul on the outside
with love to keep me warm
I live my life on the bright side
trying to keep calm 
but if the roses that grow
in the garden of my heart
have prickly thorns
and hurt me deep

I wear my fake fur coat in Summertime
of things i want it to remind
They dont dare ask me why
why love is blind but its not shy
and if the insects that glow
in the garden of my heart
have poisonous sting
what antidote would you bring?

How long can my soul stay outside?
How long will the warmth take, through, to seep?
How long is this journey?
baby, stay with me.

i will not sing of lust and misery
i will not write about what i cant feel
i will not say the things that i dont mean
i will not say i will not love you still
open up your heart
and dont let me go
start telling the things
you want me to know
reshape your mould
for the misshapen soul
