Pieces

Even without the words, I know

Though you try so hard to hide the truth

Everything won't be alright this time

Just try to cling on

Been coming for such a long time

It was only a matter of when and where

Everything just falls a part all at once

Clutch the jagged shards

I cut up my hands

On pieces of broken hope

That somehow something might change

On my knees

Wishing for a little more time

So we could go back to how things used to be

Even though you're still here

You're not really here anymore

Your eyes can't hide the pain inside

Though they look away

We've come such a long way since then

I can't help but ask how and why

When did we start to drift so far apart?

Can't see you anymore

I cut up my hands

On pieces of broken heart

Shattered, broken, lying on the floor

On my knees

Wishing that we could mend

The tattered strings that made us who we were

I cut up my hands

On pieces of broken hope

That somehow something might change

On my knees

Wishing for a little more time

So we could go back to how things used to be

I'm on my knees

Clutching tight the shards

To my heart, of things that used to be
