Pieces - Rob Thomas & Ingrid Michaelson

Picking up the pieces that we left behind Some of it was yours but the rest is mine Waited my whole life now I'm next in line Money and the hoes can't heal me Moved my cup every time you tried to fill me I was scared to love like it would kill me Could of used that same fear to fuel me Crazy how I always choose the latter Tryna reach the top without a ladder We only human we all made out of matter It makes sense cause you the only thing that matter Member I was lost tryna find a way From clockin' in to I don't even have the time of day But for you I got time today Before I save the world you would tie my cape Before I walked the walk you would tie my shoes Every time I fell you would kiss the bruise I grab the drill you would hold the screws It ain't hard to choose I had to save myself I thought I was playing you I really played myself Look what I made myself Picking up pieces of you I had to break myself Grow with me New car new crib Come get old with me Change with me No umbrella no coat in the rain with me I had to save myself I thought I was playing you I really played myself Look what I made myself Picking up pieces of you I had to break myself Picking up the pieces that we left behind Some of it was yours but the rest is mine Waited my whole life now I'm next in line Nigga fuck this line

I listen to your heartbeat, coming from the bedsheet Keeping up the time with the song on the TV Keeping at a tempo, everything is so low I don't wanna sleep 'cause the moment is borrowed Everything at half speed, like a woke dream I don't wanna think that I won't see tomorrow We are so f-d up We just don't know how We just keep on fighting 'Til the bell rings and we're out Listen to that sound Turn it up right now 'Cause we all know tomorrow Will only break your heart Listen to your heartbeat, coming down the hallway Kinda wanna reach but it's never in a real way I'm a little simple, but I'm stable I give it all when I can if I'm able Everything is alright 'til it ain't right And we all know, that we ain't alright right now We are so f-d up We just don't know how We just keep on fighting 'Til the bell rings and we're out Listen to that sound Turn it up right now 'Cause we all know tomorrow Will only break your heart Don't look now my friend We are lost and then We come back again Tomorrow will only break your heart We are so f-d up We just don't know how We just keep on fighting 'Til the bell rings and we're out Listen to that sound Turn it up right now 'Cause we all know tomorrow Will only break your heart We fall down and then We come back again Tomorrow will only break your heart Ah yeah Tomorrow will only break your heart

Everybody's got a different story Everybody wanna give their selves away But I'm still afraid If we can stay out of their field of vision If we can keep ourselves a half a world away Ah honey, we'll be okay The world can be so cruel But I will sing for you This cradle song All night long Everybody's got their own opinion Everybody's got a place were they belong Like a favorite song And I don't want to be a faded memory I don't want to be the ghost that you can't shake, no I want to be the real thing The world can be so cruel But I will sing for you This cradle song All night long Yeah, all night long Yeah, all night long No one said that we were victims, honey No one said we had to keep the things we get And there ain't no regrets And all our friends, they moved to Hollywood But we ain't that desperate yet Oh no, oh, ain't nothing like the real thing The world can be so cruel Well, let me sing to you This cradle song All night long The world can be so cruel But I will sing for you This cradle song All night long This cradle song This cradle song Yeah, all night long Sing it all night long, yeah Yeah, all night long Sing it all night long Yeah, yeah All night long, yeah

I think we're snowblind, we've had a hard time And we can't see where we are Spending our whole lives walking the same lines And it doesn't seem to stop This is our life, it's all that we get The days are all numbered And the nights are all spent, losing our focus We're starting to drag, we're running in circles And we start to feel bad But it don't mean that this ain't right We just both need a little more time I think we're snowblind, we've had a hard time And we can't see where we are Spending our whole lives walking the same lines And it doesn't seem to stop He's taking my throat, you're melting my hands You cause me to wonder as much as I can I feel it all over, it's starting to lack We're spinning our wheels so much That it's hard to turn back I think we're snowblind, we've had a hard time And we can't see where we are Spending our whole lives walking the same lines And it doesn't seem to stop Oh, but when the night falls down on this place I will be the one to hold you When the tears run down your face I think we're snowblind, we've had a hard time And we can't see where we are Spending our whole lives walking the same lines And it doesn't seem to stop I think we're snowblind, we've had a hard time And it doesn't seem to stop I think we're snowblind, we've had a hard time And it doesn't seem to stop I think we're snowblind, we've had a hard time We're snowblind, we're snowblind
