I've been a puzzle all this time
Picking up hobbies and boys to solve it
Time after time, as time would go by
I would wonder why the puzzle was never whole
Some pieces fit perfectly, but I wasn't sure what to do with them
because so many pieces weren't even from the same box
I'm finally solving it, piece by piece,
as my younger self learned to do so well
Turns out I can't borrow pieces from other people,
no matter how generous they may be
and no matter how badly I wanted desperately to have enough pieces...
If they aren't pieces of me they will never create a masterpiece
Now I look at one piece at a time
Study it and cherish it
Decide if it fits in my puzzle
Accomplishing and keeping my patience
This puzzle is magic
With only time and my whole heart, it's putting itself together
And when the pieces align perfectly, they seal themselves with superglue
because there is no going back when the pieces are truly yours
I can't wait to frame it for the world to see
This puzzle solves itself when I let myself be free

There are land mines under your skin
Is that the reason you won't let me in?
Fully--I mean, there are parts that I've seen
But you've built a wall
It's tough and it's tall,
and I doubt you'd know how to break through at all
Even if you tried to climb, you'd probably fall
How many bridges can two people share?
You burn them all down, leaving me to repair
You should try to approach a bridge that I've built
Take my hand and cross it, without giving me guilt
I'd travel across waters with you
on the bet that maybe one day you'd be true
Do you not see what you've put me through?
This wall I've torn down to get closer to you?
At any moment you're destined to blow,
Your current grabs me, I'm stuck in the undertow

While bad girls do it well,
Good girls do it best
That's why the guys always fell
For the one with the little twist
Don't be pure all of the time,
But don't give everything away
Know when you should work
And make the most of when you play
