Lyrics
I'm picking up the pieces
Picking up the pieces
That are shattered, shattered
I'm mending every part of me
Mending every part of me
That's shattered, shattered
Did my best, did my best to follow my heart
But it led me to travel down the wrong road
What do you do when your world falls apart
And you're left out in the cold?
Had to run, had to run from the source of the pain
Tried to stop my whole life from spiraling down
How do you keep from going insane
When your dreams lay on the ground?
CHORUS
Had to learn, had to learn to dry up my tears
Had to leave regret and bitterness behind
How long till I conquer all of my fears
And restore my peace of mind?
