Picking Up Pieces
I really need to talk with youI keep stepping on the veinThat keeps my lifeline flowing throughI wanna be your perfect stick of glueBut I don't feel perfect at allSad and insecure flaw
I find it hard to hold conversationsI get sweaty sick and I wanna walk awayNo, it's not youIt's strictly me in this situationBut I'm wondering, will it ever go away?Just go away, still
[Chorus:]Sometimes I feel like weepingAwake and when I'm sleepingPerfecting how to put a game face onThis puzzle I've been keepingHas been in hiding creeping out the closet doorSpilling out onto the floorHow long will I be picking up pieces?How long will I be picking up my heart?
ListenI'll be as honest as I feelI feel like I'm getting more paranoid'Cause I'm hearing thingsAnd they never turn out realIt feels like my heart is made of pure steelIt's just so heavy all the time
I'm scared of deathI'm scared of livingShit, I gave up on the past'Cause it's unforgivingI misplaced my trustI watched my word begin to rustI'm a balloon about to bustI need a place for relivingStill
[Chorus]
Be picking up my heartBe picking up my heartBe picking up my heartPicking up my heartPicking up my heartPicking up my heartKeep picking up my heart
How long, in another space and timeKeep picking up the pieces in the corner of my mindHow long, getting oh so hard to findKeep picking up pieces in the corner of my mindCome on
But I still walk on
