Pieces

It's a beautiful sadness
 That moves us through the day
 Through twisted mazes filled with tortured compromise
 And that which doesn't kill us
 Can really make you want to scream
 And seek solace in the absence of alibis
 But the thing we never say out loud is...
 That I'm so afraid
 Scared of what they're going to say
 Still haunted by yesterday
 And tears can't make up for lost time
 What's left I plan to keep as mine
 Won't let it go without a fight
 And it starts today
 I give away pieces
 Scatter them around
 Share a secret with a stranger for a night
 But I'm the only one who knows
 What's really going down
 It's easy when you keep it all inside
 Still the thing we never say out loud is...
 That I'm so afraid
 Scared of what they're going to say
 Still haunted by yesterday
 And tears can't make up for lost time
 What's left I plan to keep as mine
 Won't let it go without a fight
 And it starts today
 And I'm so afraid
 Scared of what they're going to say
 Still haunted by yesterday
 And tears can't make up for lost time
 What's left I plan to keep as mine
 Won't let it go without a fight
 And it starts today
