JEWELRY BOX

I'm not an underachiever
More what you call
a late bloomer

Took me a long time to become
a believer
Otherwise I'd have been here a
whole lot sooner

I heard it said
that I was past my prime
But now I know
it was just a rumor

Such harsh words have
strengthened me over time
Good thing I still have
a sense of humor

When I said
'take it or leave it...'
she left it

Never cared about money...
but she cost me time

Ring's in the jewelry box...
I don't regret it

Replacements for me...
I'm sure they're
waiting in line

Sacrifices had to be
made...but I'm at peace
You only live once...I'm back
to chasing my dream

After what we both held inside
had been released
Gave her half of
everything...
but my self-esteem

When I said
'take it or leave it...'
she left it
Never cared about money...
but she cost me time

Ring's in the jewelry box...
I don't regret it
Replacements for me...
she's got them waiting in
line

Sacrifices had to be made...
but I'm at peace
You only live once...
I'm back to
chasing my dream

After what we both held inside
had been released
Gave her half of
everything...
but my self-esteem

I heard it said that
I was past my prime
But now I know
it was just a rumor

Such harsh words have
strengthened me over time
Good thing I still have
a sense of humor

I'm not an underachiever
More what you call
a late bloomer

Took me a long time to become
a believer
Otherwise we'd have been here
a whole lot sooner

When differences
in opinions increased
And they soon become known to
be extreme

As you find you own
what really should only
have been leased
Yes, opposites attract
yet it's best to
share common themes

Sacrifices had to be made...
but I'm at peace
You only live once...
I'm back to chasing my dream
