Pick Up the Pieces

I've fallen to pieces,

In myself I will soak

Pick up the pieces,

You so elegantly broke

I've known what it is

To be loved and then lost

I know how it feels

To be won and then dropped

I'm apart and in pieces

Pick up every last one

Pick up the pieces

Don't cry when you're done

My heart has been shattered

Don't blame it on yourself

Just pick up my pieces

And keep what is left

Pick up my pieces

They lie where I fall

Pick up my pieces

Scrape my brains from your wall

My heart has been shattered
Don't blame it on yourself
Just pick up my pieces
And keep what is left
