Bring Me Pieces

When we aren’t going back, and still want what we left behind.

Lyrics

If I poured my soul into a song
With warmth and tenderness alive in every word
And  if a current carried it along
The love I sang would never be the song you heard.

Guess I don’t need you anymore
But I still look back and wonder
Will pieces wash up on the shore
Of the man I wanna be

If I hide it all behind my back
And try for bulletproof. never dare to rest
Instead of re-rehearsing each attack
Could I maybe put my heart back in my chest.

‘Cause I don’t need you anymore
But I still look back and wonder
Will pieces wash up on the shore
Of the man I wanna be

It’s hard to hear a tender whisper
Through the thunder of the storm
Maybe tough is how we have to be
Til we learn that we are strong

No I don’t need you anymore
But I still look back and wonder
Bring me pieces from before
Of the man I wanna be
