Pieces

I treated my love like a locket

That I kept close to me

I guarded my secret so that

No one else could see

I didn’t see you comin’
Didn’t know I should be runnin’

What’s left of me’s in pieces

Pieces on the ground

Pieces of the man I was

Before you let me down

I believed in love

Until you came around

Now all I am is a man

In pieces on the ground

I thought I learned my lesson

Guess I’m just naïve

I put my blinders on and

Didn’t know when to leave

I didn’t see you going

I had no way of knowing

What’s left of me’s in pieces

Pieces on the ground

Pieces of the man I was

Before you let me down

I believed in love

Until you came around

Now all I am is a man

In pieces on the ground

I remember pieces

Of the man I used to be

I wonder if anyone else

Will see that part of me

More than just pieces

Pieces on the ground

Pieces of the man I was

Before you let me down

I believed in love

Until you came around

Now all I am is a man

In pieces on the ground

A little interesting trivia about this song. The song is called "Pieces" and ironically, it came together in pieces. I wrote the chorus, and then the first verse, and then the bridge, and then the second verse. It's the first time that I ever wrote a song "out of order..." but you just do what feels right, and this song sort of wrote itself.
