Pieces of My Heart (Original Cast Recording)

Pack up the suitcase and the hat. You are a ‘boy’. No use for that. Pack up the glitter, wig and dress. Didn’t they bring me happiness?

All of the treasures of my past. Shouldn’t have thought that it could last. So, pack up the homemade cartoon art. Pack up the pieces of my heart.

Shouldn’t have been so bold at school. Shouldn’t have stood up on that stool. Belting my heart out, proud and strong, who knew such things could be so wrong?

People use words that cut and sting. Think of the pain your words can bring. Why be so cruel when you could sing? One tiny word spoils everything.

So, pack up the suitcase and the hat. Never will you have use for that. Pack up the glitter, wig and dress, they brought me so much happiness.

All of the treasures of my past. I should have known it wouldn’t last. So, pack up the homemade cartoon art. Pack up the pieces of my heart.
