In Pieces

We got acquainted on a warm summer's night
Top floor of your apartment
Is where we started clicking for the first time
And our future it was so bright
I was there to be a melody and under the impression
That you would be my harmony, yeah

Pretty soon we were dressed up in lights
If you wanted centre stage I was there on your right
I was singing on the grandstand
Where I think we made our first plans
To be a source of friction
A clear contradiction
This is where we discovered our dissonance

And all these things I think about in pieces
All these scenes I play again in my mind
When were the two of us destined, oh, to come undone
When we had just begun

Well is it possible I got something wrong
In the middle of a moment
While we laboured over song
While we toiled over every word
Was it your voice you wanted heard?
At the time I thought I tried
To strip away some of my pride
But I couldn't understand where you were coming from

All these things you could explain in pieces
All these things you could've said but never tried
You were always there
Waiting for us to come undone
And now all that we've built , yes
Everything we have came undone

We always used to fight
The record that we kept of wrongs and rights
Would lock us there inside
You turned and walked away
And left me picking pieces off the ground
In scattered disarray, yeah

All these things I could explain in pieces
All these things I'd want to say
But how could I?
I was always there
Waiting for you to come undone
And I knew you would
I knew you would break some day
And come unglued
I knew you were waiting
For the day that you'd leave us
And be gone for good

We always used to fight
The record that we kept of wrongs and rights
Would lock us there inside
You turned and walked away
And left me picking pieces off the ground
And I am here to stay
(Although in pieces yeah)
I'll go pick up the pieces
I'm waiting out the night
For when we see the sun
The work we've done will finally come to light
And with the break of day
We'll put the pieces back in place somehow
Until we find out way
(Although in pieces)
I'll go pick up the pieces every time
