Pieces

Used to think that love was something I could hold tight

Now I'm picking up the pieces in the dead of night

Said you care but actions never matched your words

Left me questioning if anything I said was heard

Thought we had forever, thought we had it all

Now I'm standing here alone just waiting for the fall

You can't force love when it ain't really there

Had to choose myself, had to learn to care

Nothing is the same since you walked away

I was never enough, that's what you say

Can't force love when it's already gone

Had to choose to move, had to carry on

If you can't love me then it's time to go

'Cause you were ready to quit, that we both know

That broke me down but I'm still standing strong

Been gathering myself, I'm moving on

Thought you'd be there when I needed you the most

Now I'm talking to your memory like a ghost

Why can't you be real, why can't you be true

Can't run from the pain that I'm going through

I promised I'd be there, but what's the point now

Hard to think you're not there when the pain has no refrain

Got to roll up, smoke another, try to keep it strange

Trying to soothe my struggle hoping to numb the pain

Nothing is the same since you walked away

I was never enough, that's the message you convey

Can't force love when it's already gone

So I had to choose to move, had to carry on

If you can't love me then it's time to go

'Cause you were ready to quit, that we both know

That broke me down but I'm still standing strong

Been gathering myself, I'm moving on

Still picking up pieces off the floor

But one thing I can thank you for

Is giving me the strength to write

Though I have to push through every sleepless night

Even more reasons to keep pushing through

Found my voice in what I thought I'd lose

Every broken piece becomes a song

That's how I know I'm moving on

(Moving on)

Still picking up pieces off the floor

But one thing I can thank you for

Is giving me the strength to write

Though I have to push through every sleepless night

Even more reasons to keep pushing through

Found my voice in what I thought I'd lose

Every broken piece becomes a song

That's how I know I'm moving on
