[Intro]
(Zero, all engines running)
[Verse 1]
Nothing's set in stone
Not even the diamond wrapped around my finger
We're only gettin' older
And holdin' onto hope, it only makes it lonelier
[Pre-Chorus]
Love comes with pain, I don't know why
Mm, my whole life
[Chorus]
Too far gone and I'll never come back
Slippin' through my fingers, damn, it's goin' fast
Tryin' to find some meanin', somethin' that lasts
Am I missin' you or am I missin' pieces of me?
Am I missin' you or am I missin' who I used to be?
[Verse 2]
With this pride, I won't apologize for how I'm feelin'
With this ego, I won't be the only one that's bleedin'
Maybe all this hate I'm holdin' isn't helpin' me, but
I'm stubborn, it's mine to keep
[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I add up all my wasted time
Sometimes I just like seeing grown men cry
Think I killed the part of me that I like
[Chorus]
Too far gone and I'll never come back
I wish I never learned that nothin' really lasts
I'll never be the same in a world that's gone mad
Am I missin' you or am I missin' pieces of me?
Am I missin' you or am I missin' who I used to be?
Am I missin' you or am I missin' pieces of me?
