Left in Pieces
You destroyed me emotionally Then left me
bleeding all alone Now you’re back… Saying
you know
me
best
You’re standing where you stood that night
This time you’re asking to come in
I used to dream about this moment
Now I don’t know where to begin
You say my name the way you used to
You came to me,
swearing your love was true
I never thought we’d end up like this
Now one word brings me back to you
Where were you when I couldn’t eat?
When your goodbye kept waking me?
You get to say you needed time
I had to live through every night
You broke my heart
Now you’re back
With your hands held out Like I can just forget all that
I still want your touch
But I’m scared of what comes after
Will you hold me through the morning
Or leave me picking up
What’s left of me?
What’s left of me?
You say you want us back
But can you love what’s left of me?
I won’t pretend I didn’t miss you
I almost called a hundred times
Your picture’s still inside my drawer
I put it there to get you off my mind
You tell me leaving was a mistake
I hear the shaking in your breath
But being sorry here beside me
Doesn’t mean I’ve stopped hurting yet
Don’t kiss me
just to stop the questions Don’t promise what you haven’t thought through
If I let you sit beside me
Will you hear what I went through?
You broke my heart
Now you’re back
With your hands held out
Like I can just forget all that
I still want your touch
But I’m scared of what comes after
Will you hold me through the morning Or leave me picking up
What’s left of me?
What’s left of me?
You say you want us back
But can you love what’s left of me?
Part of me wants to close the door
Part of me’s already in your arms
I don’t know which one to listen to One wants your love,
one fears the harm
So stay right there
Let me take my time
You’ve had months to change your mind
I’ve only had tonight
You broke my heart
Now you’re back
And I wish wanting you
Was enough to bring us back
I still want your touch
But I need more than the feeling
If you’re here to love me Stay when it isn’t easy Stay
here with me
Stay here with me
You say you want us back Then learn to love what’s left
of me
You destroyed me emotionally
I’m still learning how to rest
Now you’re back…
Don’t ask me to forget
