In Pieces

I know I'm breaking every rule, but
I can't keep skipping through this life
You lay there so quietly, and I know you won't listen, but I'll try
'Cause people come and people go
Riding high, escape the low
Running away when it ain't so easy
So before you leave in the morning, I just have to know

That even though this won't last forever
And our lives are only passing through
Could I be more than another person off your list to do?
Or can we only love, only love, only love in pieces?

Tired of closing each chapter all on my own
There may be two or three of you and me
But a warm bed doesn't mean I'm not alone
I'm not alone, no

We do a dance, we do it well
Close enough, but never tell anything
That's gonna be misleading
So before we act like it's nothing, I just have to know

That even though this won't last forever
And our lives are only passing through
Could I be more than another person off your list to do?
Or must we only love, only love, only love in pieces?
Can we only love, only love, only love in pieces?

I'm not saying I'm incomplete, not desperately asking why
But how are we constantly just chasing a momentary high
We all need a connection, and I bet if you let me right in
You'd see more than pieces, all these leases for our lives, oh

(Even though this won't last forever)
(And our lives are only passing through) passing through
I could be more than another person off your list to do
But we only love, only love, only love in pieces
Can we only love, only love, only love in pieces?
I'm worth more than pieces

Oh, oh-oh, no, you never know
Oh, oh-oh, no, you never know
Oh, oh-oh, no, you never know
Oh, oh-oh, no
