i’m pickin’ up

all the pieces

learn the lesson

that it teaches

brush it off now

it’s not worth it

i remember 

when she said

​

please don’t waste your precious pearls

tears can change how you see the world 

please don’t waste those precious pearls

you did before, promise not anymore

​

blow a kiss yeah

and let it fly

turn the other cheek

and let it dry

a lil bit of soul now

all I needed 

feel the change and

i gotta be it

​

please don’t waste your precious pearls

tears can change how you see the world 

please don’t waste those precious pearls

you did before, promise not anymore

​

one day you’ll come to find

those pearls have lost their shine

please now, keep in mind

don’t waste your precious time

​

please don’t waste your precious pearls

tears can change how you see the world 

please
