Broken Pieces

I can barely take care of myself

I'm not able to cook omelettes yet

I can only separate the trash

I'm a good driver, though you don't think so

I respect all traffic signs, you know

I'm a good citizen after all

Is that enough to be forgiven?

I'm picking broken pieces off the floor

Don't get me wrong, I'm not delirious

I'll keep my promise when it's time for sure

Don't play this song at my burial

I'll feel stupid if I say "no regrets"

Or that I'd do it all over again

It didn't work out as I wanted to

It feels like I am face to face with death

I can only feel a sense of mystery and dread

Is midlife crisis coming to an end?

I feel completely unprepared for it

I'm picking broken pieces off the floor

Don't get me wrong, I'm not delirious

I'll keep my promise when it's time for sure

Don't play this song at my burial

I'll laugh about it when it's time to go

Damn it, why shouldn't it have happened all along?

Don't make a move, it's over

Don't place your bets, it's over

It's over and over and over

Don't make a move, it's over

Don't place your bets, it's over

It's over and over and over and over

And over and over and over and over

And over and over and over

I got the door one day and it was you

Staring at me as if you wanted to

Kill me and just let me finally face the truth

I'm slowly learning to accept mistakes

We've lost too much from being far away

It was so stupid to desert you there

So come on, kill me, I feel I'm up to this

I'm picking broken pieces off the floor

Don't get me wrong, I'm not delirious

I'll keep my promise when it's time for sure

Don't play this song at my burial

I'm picking broken pieces off the floor

I'm picking broken pieces off the floor

I'm picking broken pieces off the floor

I'm picking broken pieces off the floor
