Piece By Piece

Skipping stones with friends I’ve know

Since long before the day that you and I

Had our cover blown

And I walk the streets I’ve called my own

Since many years before my foolish heart

Told me to take you home

Oh now piece by piece I’m taking it back to the get go

Little by little unravelling the riddle of a love gone wrong

There was a time before you and I, I was fine just getting on by

Didn’t know then what I know right now

Only picked me up just to drop me back down

Only picked me up just to drop me back down

Well you spin a girl round fast enough

She’ll think the only way that she can stand

Is holding both your hands

And it’s hard to see the line between the times

You’d send a gentle call for love

And the times that you’d command

Oh now piece by piece I’m taking it back to the get go

Little by little unravelling the riddle of a love gone wrong

There was a time before you and I, I was fine just getting on by

Didn’t know then what I know right now

Only picked me up just to drop me back down

Only picked me up just to drop me back down

And you should know each time we meet

I’m gonna smile through gritted teeth because

I don’t plan to let you see the hold that you have over me

And if you ask me for a dance thinking it’s your second chance

Spin around and I’ll be gone

You’ll be the one who’s left alone

Piece by piece I’m taking it back to the get go

Little by little unravelling the riddle of a love gone wrong

There was a time before you and I, I was fine just getting on by

Didn’t know then what I know right now

Only picked me up just to drop me back down

Only picked me up just to drop me back down
