One to Ten

You're one on a scale
From one to ten
Caught by surprise
With your intent

I wish I could take it but I can't
I wish I could break you but I can't
I wish I could take from you
The time you stole from me and hurt you back
You back

I shaped your aim, you shot me down
Your sharpened words then hardly felt
As time went by the words, the hurt
The burn now register, I'm gone

Lesson learned and time was spent
So much for the words you meant
Lesson learned
Time served, time served

You're one on a scale
From one to ten
Caught by surprise
With your intent

I wish I could take it
But I can't
The fun is gone
I'm movin' on

Lesson learned and time was spent
So much for the words you meant
Wasted time so much regret
Had it all but all for not

Lesson learned, time served, time burned
In turn, you will get what you deserve
My turn, you'll burn
And you'll get what you deserve

Lesson learned and time was spent
So much for the words you meant
Lesson learned and time was spent
So much for the words you meant

Lesson learned, time served
