I'm a dimepiece
with a timepiece

but I'll tell you one thing
I've never had
good timing.

twenty years
young.
old, I thought
but not old enough
to believe
you're the last good thing
to come around.

just wise enough
to know
a good thing
like you
is worth trying for

I'm a dimepiece
with a timepiece

but I'll tell you one thing
I've never had
good timing

the one for a
minute.
guards up
so the letting down
is easy.
easier
to tread lightly

ha.
turns out
that's not
easy
at all

cause I'm a dimepiece
with a timepiece

but I'll tell you one thing
I've never had
good timing

twenty three years
old.
old enough, you'd think
to know
a good thing
like me
is worth trying for

can't say that I'm
too good for you.
just too bad
you won't give
what I deserve

cause I'm a dimepiece
with a timepiece

but I'll tell you one thing
I've never had
good timing

wanna know a secret?
i didn't want those tattoos anyway.
i only wanted you to be the sun
so i could be the moon
and without you,
i would still be the moon
because i have always been a wild heart
while your identity was wavering
in the shadows of the new trends
baby, you're a dimepiece
but i was the rarest gem
like you told me i was
but you never truly believed it
did you?

That's okay,
I didn't need you to.

— The End —
