Pieces

It's a beautiful sadness
That moves us through the day
Through twisted mazes filled with tortured compromise
And that which doesn't kill us
Can really make you want to scream
And seek solace in the absence of alibis

But the thing we never say out loud is...

That I'm so afraid
Scared of what they're going to say
Still haunted by yesterday
And tears can't make up for lost time
What's left I plan to keep as mine
Won't let it go without a fight
And it starts today

I give away pieces
Scatter them around
Share a secret with a stranger for a night
But I'm the only one who knows
What's really going down
It's easy when you keep it all inside

Still the thing we never say out loud is...

That I'm so afraid
Scared of what they're going to say
Still haunted by yesterday
And tears can't make up for lost time
What's left I plan to keep as mine
Won't let it go without a fight
And it starts today

And I'm so afraid
Scared of what they're going to say
Still haunted by yesterday
And tears can't make up for lost time
What's left I plan to keep as mine
Won't let it go without a fight
And it starts today
