Pieces Lyrics


Chyea
Natalie
Rob G
Pickin' up the pieces of my life
You know what I'm sayin'
It's going from good to bad and bad to worse
And now I got you so mad it hurts
Here's some advice, check it
To find yourself, you have to search
Pick up the pieces, know your worth
Now let me hear you say
I've got to pick up the pieces
Get myself back together, for whatever the reason
I still deserve better
I've got to pick up the pieces
Get myself back together, for whatever the reason
I still deserve better
I try to fall and get up

Now you better
Always seem to remember
That without you I would
Die if you ever say goodbye
You know I'm here alone
I'm lonely and so sad
Each day I cry
I only cry for you, die for you
I live for you
Without you here
I stay adore you
I'm waitin' for you
I'm lonely for you
I never thought I'd feel this way
The one I love has caused me pain
I'm waking up everyday hoping the sun will shine
The rain will go away
I've got to pick up the pieces
Get myself back together, for whatever the reason
I still deserve better
I've got to pick up the pieces
Get myself back together, for whatever the reason
I still deserve better
Too bad, so sad
Now you wanna come back in my life
But I told you not once
I told you more than twice
That you would realize that I am everything you're gonna need
New girl out there, will never ever love you more than me
And I did the sacrifices so why put up with
Like we never met
'Cause I can't continue to go on hurting like this
I never thought I'd feel this way
The one I love has caused me pain
I'm waking up everyday hoping the sun will shine
The rain will go away
I've got to pick up the pieces
Get myself back together, for whatever the reason
I still deserve better
I've got to pick up the pieces
Get myself back together, for whatever the reason
I still deserve better
Rob G, let's go
I know I deserve better
I just wanna earn cheddar
I wish I'd learn never trust what I say when I burn letters of love
You used to write me telling how much you like me and like me
I could see you as my wifey
You show a dark sign like the night the moon covers
Guess you'd never known 'til they show the true colors
A few of us pay no attention and let it flow
But not me, baby, I'm sorry you gotta go
It's taking us toll
You kinda breakin' my soul
It's like I'm sitting in a desert and I'm waitin' for it to snow
Hit the road
I'd rather be wrong than mistreated
Now beat it, leave me here
I'll get to pickin' up the pieces of my life
I've got to pick up the pieces
Get myself back together, for whatever the reason
I still deserve better
I've got to pick up the pieces (tell 'em)
Get myself back together (here we go), for whatever the reason (yeah)
I still deserve better (uh huh)
Chyea, chyea
Chyea, chyea

Evermore is an indie rock/alternative band originally from Feilding, New Zealand and now based in Melbourne, Australia. They formed in 1999.

What happens when dreams become real life?

The three Hume brothers of Evermore have come a long way since the release of their debut album Dreams. With over 300 live shows, an MTV Award, a NZ Music Award, the APRA Silver Scroll, five ARIA nominations, and hung a platinum record plaque on the wall of their home studio. It's a far cry from their humble beginnings in rural New Zealand, and it all culminates in their second album, Real Life.

The writing and initial recording took place in the isolation of their Central Coast abode, an isolation the boys were not only used to, but actively encouraged. Separating into different rooms, they each had their own private recording studio in miniature, working on tracks solo before bringing them together for the Evermore polish.

After two months in the warm environs of the Australian summer they leapt into the freezing winter of inland Massachusetts, USA. Actually, the term freezing is an understatement, we're talking temperatures of minus 25 degrees and below. Keeping true to their rural roots, they recorded in the oldest studio still operating in the US, Longview Farm. Artists such as Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones and Aerosmith have all frozen their butts off there in the past. Respected engineer John Alagia (who mixed Dreams, and has worked with acts like John Mayer, Dave Matthews Band and Ben Folds) was chosen for the job for his twiddling tenacity and his striking good looks.

"I ended up doing a lot of the recording myself," explains Jon, speaking of their time at the farm. "We liked working with John Alagia because he believes in letting the artist have freedom rather than forcing ideas on to you. Plus he's a really funny guy. And when you're in the studio for months on end your sense of humor goes a little haywire!"

Allowing themselves freedom was also high on the agenda, with the two younger Humes contributing to the songwriting a lot more heavily than on Dreams. "Instead of me writing almost everything, we suddenly had three writers coming up with a lot," Jon says. "We could have made two albums simultaneously."

"Dann wrote nearly a song a day," echoes Peter. "He had over one hundred songs - which is insane! We definitely didn't have a lack of songs."

But perhaps the main difference between the two albums is in the songs themselves. From the epic energy of Running, the band's first single off the album, to the melodic harmonies of Never Let You Go; from the dynamic rock of Unbreakable to the uplifting lyrics of Light Surrounding You, this second album has seen the band's songwriting grow and diversify.

"Dreams was very atmospheric and mood-based," explains Jon. "This one jumps out of the speakers at you. The songs are more positive and sonically, it's more direct."

"Its louder and more to the point," agrees Dann. "We're going to grab people's attention, and leave them with something to think about."

With the likes of the Beatles, David Bowie and Bob Dylan on high rotation throughout the recording process, their shift to a focus on song writing seems only natural. "We've taken so much inspiration from classic songs," explains Pete. "We wanted to be sure all the tunes sounded great just played simply on a guitar, that way you know you have a great song."

"We're the kind of band that is going to change with every record," adds Jon. "We will always sound like us, but we'll utilise our strengths as three writers."

A new journey has just begun for this talented trio, whose sounds and lyrics have taught us how to dream.... Welcome to Real Life.
