Pawn Shop Queen

The jewel of your eye Sparkling so bright You were the gold in my shine Safe behind the glass Now as time has passed Pages yellow Your words don't last I believed that we were one of a kind Then you cast me aside Here I am a pawn shop queen Ball gown ripped right down the seam A precious diamond losing its gleam Pretty picture in a broken frame All this grace in a pile of shame Just waiting to be given away Too late to slow the break Too late to stop and save A love only worth a simple trade Now I see the cracks And all she has I lack You kept it all perfectly intact I believed that we were one of a kind Then you cast me aside Here I am a pawn shop queen Ball gown ripped right down the seam A precious diamond losing its gleam Pretty picture in a broken frame All this grace in a pile of shame Just waiting to be given away I thought if the tables turned. And you wanted to return I'd run to your arms to be reclaimed Sitting among here among the spurned I see that treasure, it must be earned So this beauty lasts Beyond a dent or scratch I kept it all perfectly intact Here I am a pawn shop queen Ball gown ripped right down the seam A precious diamond losing its gleam Pretty picture in a broken frame All this grace in a pile of shame Just waiting to be given away Just waiting to be given away
