Lyrics
"I'M TRYING TO PICK UP THE PIECES OF ME"
BY: TED PURVIN (ASCAP) AND JACK GRAYSON (BMI)
OH, I'M TRYING TO PICK UP...THE PIECES OF ME...
SINCE YOU WALKED AWAY...I'VE COME APART;
I THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE MINE...GUESS I MISREAD THE SIGNS...
I WAS YOUR PUPPET ON A STRING...FROM THE START.
YES, I'M TRYING TO PICK UP...THE PIECES OF ME...
BUT WITHOUT YOU, I'M NOT DOING ALL THAT WELL;
YOU LED ME ALL AROUND...'TIL I CAME CRASHING DOWN...
MUST HAVE LOOKED LIKE HUMPTY-DUMPTY WHEN I FELL.
BRIDGE: NOW, I FEEL LIKE A FALLEN SPARROW...WITH A BROKEN WING;
CAN'T GET OFF...THE GROUND ALONE...CAN'T DO ANYTHING;
NOW I'M TRYING TO PICK UP...THE PIECES OF ME...
BUT I'VE GOT SUCH MISERY DOWN IN MY BONES;
I NEED TO SEE YOUR SMILE...AND HOLD YOU FOR AWHILE...
'CAUSE I'LL NEVER MEND THIS BROKEN HEART ALONE.
BRIDGE: NOW, I FEEL LIKE A FALLEN SPARROW...WITH A BROKEN WING;
CAN'T GET OFF...THE GROUND ALONE...CAN'T DO ANYTHING;
NOW, I'M TRYING TO PICK UP...THE PIECES OF ME...
BUT I'VE GOT SUCH MISERY DOWN IN MY BONES;
I NEED TO SEE YOUR SMILE...AND HOLD YOU FOR AWHILE...
'CAUSE I'LL NEVER MEND THIS BROKEN HEART ALONE;
I NEED TO SEE YOUR SMILE...AND HOLD YOU FOR AWHILE...
'CAUSE I'LL NEVER MEND THIS BROKEN HEART ALONE.
