I look in my eyes
Searching for signs of life
Digging through darkness trying to see
Pity the sight
Try to wipe up last night
That's not the kind of guy I want to beChorus
Sweeping the city streets
Oh picking up the pieces
Torn and scattered at my feet
I'm down here on my knees asking for forgiveness
Hoping hard and begging please
EmilyIt's not that I lied
Oh no, when I stopped trying
Was so sure you were mine
Turned my back to you
'cause, I never believed you could just up and leave me
Don't know what I should do
I'm not losing you againChorus
Sweeping the city streets
Oh picking up the pieces
Torn and scattered at my feet
I'm down here on my knees asking for forgiveness
Hoping hard and begging pleaseYou're the one ( X4 )Chorus
Sweeping the city streets
Oh picking up the pieces
Torn and scattered at my feet
I'm down here on my knees asking for forgiveness
Hoping hard and begging pleaseEmily ( X4 )
