Lyrics
The jewel of your eye
The person was highly valued or cherished by someone.
Sparkling so bright
The person was shining and attractive.
You were the gold in my shine
The person added value and brilliance to the speaker's life.
Safe behind the glass
The person was kept protected and secure.
Now as time has passed
Over time, things have changed.
Pages yellow
Pages representing memories or history have aged.
Your words don't last
Words or promises from the past are no longer enduring.
I believed that we were one of a kind
The speaker believed in a unique and special connection.
Then you cast me aside
The person rejected the speaker.
Here I am a pawn shop queen
The speaker feels devalued and discarded, likened to a pawn shop item.
Ball gown ripped right down the seam
The speaker feels broken and damaged, similar to a torn ball gown.
A precious diamond losing its gleam
The person's worth or charm is fading away.
Pretty picture in a broken frame
A beautiful image now marred in a broken frame.
All this grace in a pile of shame
Despite grace, there's a sense of shame or regret.
Just waiting to be given away
The person is ready to be discarded or given away.
Too late to slow the break
It's too late to prevent the emotional break.
Too late to stop and save
Unable to stop and salvage the relationship.
A love only worth a simple trade
The love is now seen as simple and replaceable.
Now I see the cracks
The speaker sees flaws or issues in the relationship.
And all she has I lack
The person has everything the speaker lacks.
You kept it all perfectly intact
Despite separation, the person seems unaffected and intact.
I believed that we were one of a kind
The speaker believed in a unique and special connection (repeated).
Then you cast me aside
The person rejected the speaker (repeated).
Here I am a pawn shop queen
The speaker feels devalued and discarded, likened to a pawn shop item (repeated).
Ball gown ripped right down the seam
The speaker feels broken and damaged, similar to a torn ball gown (repeated).
A precious diamond losing its gleam
The person's worth or charm is fading away (repeated).
Pretty picture in a broken frame
A beautiful image now marred in a broken frame (repeated).
All this grace in a pile of shame
Despite grace, there's a sense of shame or regret (repeated).
Just waiting to be given away
The person is ready to be discarded or given away (repeated).
I thought if the tables turned.
The speaker once hoped for a reversal of roles.
And you wanted to return
If the person wanted to return, the speaker would accept them.
I'd run to your arms to be reclaimed
The speaker would eagerly seek reconciliation.
Sitting among here among the spurned
The speaker now sits among those rejected.
I see that treasure, it must be earned
Realizing that true value must be earned, not given.
So this beauty lasts
The speaker desires enduring beauty without damage.
Beyond a dent or scratch
The speaker has preserved everything perfectly.
I kept it all perfectly intact
Despite separation, the speaker seems unaffected and intact (repeated).
Here I am a pawn shop queen
The speaker feels devalued and discarded, likened to a pawn shop item (repeated).
Ball gown ripped right down the seam
The speaker feels broken and damaged, similar to a torn ball gown (repeated).
A precious diamond losing its gleam
The person's worth or charm is fading away (repeated).
Pretty picture in a broken frame
A beautiful image now marred in a broken frame (repeated).
All this grace in a pile of shame
Despite grace, there's a sense of shame or regret (repeated).
Just waiting to be given away
The person is ready to be discarded or given away (repeated).
Just waiting to be given away
The person is waiting to be discarded or given away (repeated).
