Story Behind The Song
Basically, my ex was whining that I hadn?t tried hard enough to keep us together, and said some pretty cruel things. The irony is that I tried too hard to make it work, and after it was over, I wondered if his love had ever been authentic (and whether that hell was worth it).

Lyrics
V1
So I?m a taker / Oh I see
But there?s something that you must answer me
Did your love come without a price?
So I?m a user / Oh I see
But there?s something that you must answer me
Is that why I saved your life?
B-sect
Don?t tell me I didn?t try
Don?t tell me your gonna cry
CHORUS
We?re just pickin up the pieces, my friend
Pickin? up the pieces of our love
We?re just pickin up the pieces, my friend
Pickin? up the pieces of our love
V2
Now I can take the blame for some of those things
But I'm not gonna hang my head in shame
Why do you need to fight?
Your demon voices only gave me pain
The darkness in you nearly drove me insane
Why do you love the night?
Repeat B-sect & Chorus
Bridge
Now I know you?re the liar when you say you?ve never loved
Until you met me was the story that you told
Now I wonder why, oh why you kept me hostage for so long
Damn you for loving me so wrong
Repeat B-sect & Chorus
