Piece by Piece Allison Forbes
There’s a long flight of stairs
That leads me up to where
You held me on our first night alone
But the light has gone dark
Did you love me at the start
Or lie to me so I would take you home
CHORUS
Piece by piece by piece by piece
I’ll put myself back together piece by piece
Don’t come and save me now
My heart’s dragging on the ground
I’ll put myself back together piece by piece
There’s that old kitchen chair
Where I used to sit and stare
At midnight and wait for your return
I would count all the tears
All the lies in my ears
Watching the walls
And your dinner burn
CHORUS
Bridge
Tonight when it’s dark
I’ll watch you sleep
Pray to the Lord your soul he will keep
Tip toe in the darkness
You won’t hear a thing
You won’t hear a thing
There’s that old willow tree
Beneath it you will be
No talking back with dirt in your teeth
As I boil up some tea
I swear I’ll think of thee
May you rest in piece by piece
CHORUS
Piece by piece by piece by piece
You’ll put yourself back together piece by piece
Nobody can save you now
Your heart’s buried underground
Put yourself back together piece by piece
Chorus
