Rough Gem

I'm a rough gem
Worth more than my weight up on the shelf
Set me in stone
Show me off like your favorite dress
And talk about me to all your friends.

But you're cold hearted
With the cruelest of intentions
I bet you never mentioned my name.

Your words are freezer burn
They build me up to break me down
That's why I never wrapped my head around.

This push and pull
It brings me to my knees
This wishful thinking that helps me believe.

That all of this will turn out perfect
And you'll show me off because I'm worth it.

I'm a rough gem
Worth more than my weight upon the shelf
Set me in stone
Show me off like your favorite dress
And talk about me to all your friends.

It's the feelings I don't show
Just to keep you on your toes
Cause every second you spend guessing
Is one more second you spend close.

And I feel how hard your heart beats
When you wrap those arms around me
Maybe if you let your guard down
You might realize you found me, cause baby.

I'm a rough gem
So take me for me, take me for yourself
Set me in stone
Show me off like your favorite dress
And talk about me to all your friends.
