Lyrics

My Piece

He said he was right
She put up a fight
For what seemed like the first time in her life
The more that she said
The stronger she got
She saw he was a coward
With what she?d been through
It?s what she had to do
Couldn?t take anymore of his whining
She said her piece then she told him to leave
Told him to leave
Told him to leave

Run run
As if someone?s chasing
After you for miles and miles
You?ll find you?re on that road alone
She thought
Of a clever comeback
?Never come back? was the closing line
She found that strength all on her own

She said

You will eat your words
Swallow them down
That?s what you get when you throw them around
You poured your own cup
Now drink it up
You?ll taste what you?ve been serving
Put the cause of my pain
Out in the cold rain
Just take a walk and don?t you dare return again
I?ve waited patiently
To say my piece
And now you?re welcome to leave
Welcome to leave
Welcome to leave

Sick and tired
Of waiting on him
This was what she?d been waiting for
The chance to cut him to the bone
She was almost sorry for him
But was reminded by a memory
She was only reaping what he?d sown

She said

You will eat your words
Swallow them down
That?s what you get when you throw them around
You poured your own cup
Now drink it up
You?ll taste what you?ve been serving
Put the cause of my pain
Out in the cold rain
Just take a walk and don?t you dare return again
I?ve waited patiently
To say my piece
And now you?re welcome to leave
Welcome to leave
Welcome to leave

All she knows
Is a paid off home
Being all alone terrifies her
Breath
Now that he?s gone
Laugh
Now cause she won
And she can
Maybe even
Move on

All she knows
Is being home alone
Terrifies
It really terrifies her
Breathe
Now that he?s gone
Laugh
Now cause she won
And maybe even move on
Move on
Move on

She said

You will eat your words
Swallow them down
That?s what you get when you throw them around
You poured your own cup
Now drink it up
You?ll taste what you?ve been serving
Put the cause of my pain
Out in the cold rain
Just take a walk and don?t you dare return again
I?ve waited patiently
To say my piece
And now you?re welcome to leave
Welcome to leave
Welcome to leave
Welcome to leave
Welcome to leave
