Another Piece of Me

Deep inside my heart
There's a little hole
I leave a piece of me behind, everywhere I go
There's one still on the front porch of the house I grew up in
There's one locked in the corner of the bedroom where I hid
There's one I gave my mama, when I saw her cry
Grew up a little faster 'cos she couldn't say "goodbye,"

Oh, oh, there goes, another piece of me

I left one in the city
That night we didn't sleep
We each made half a promise that we tried so hard keep
I've never loved another, so innocent, so pure
I left it in the kiss I gave you standing at the door

Oh, oh, there goes, another piece of me

Breaking off like petals off a rose
Where one dies another one will grow

I see them all before me, shattered on the ground
The ones that matter most and the ones that keep me down

Like the fear inside my mother, she got from her old man
Or the guilt inside my father that I still don't understand
From the little girl inside of me, dying to get out
To the new life here in front of me that I can't live without

Oh, oh, there goes another piece of me
Oh, oh, another piece of me
Another piece of me
Another piece of me
