Picking Up Pieces – Blue October
I really need to talk with you
I keep stepping on the vein
That keeps my lifeline flowing through
I wanna be your perfect stick of glue
But I don't feel perfect at all
Sad and insecure flaw
I find it hard to hold conversations
I get sweaty sick and I wanna walk away
No it's not you it's strictly me in this situation
I'm wondering will it ever go away
Just go away still
Sometimes I feel like weeping
Awake and when I'm sleeping
Perfecting how to put a game face on
This puzzle I've been keeping
Has been in hiding creeping out the closet door
Spilling out onto the floor
How long will I be picking up pieces
How long will I be picking up my heart
Listen
I'll be as honest as I feel
I'm getting more paranoid and I'm hearing things
And they never turn out real
It feels like my heart is made of pure steel
It's just so heavy all the time
Yea I'm scared of death
And I'm scared of living
I gave up on the past cause it's unforgiving
I misplaced my trust
I watched my word begin to rust
I'm a balloon about to bust
I need a place for reliving
Sometimes I feel like weeping
Awake and when I'm sleeping
Perfecting how to put a game face on
And this puzzle I've been keeping
Has been in hiding creeping out the closet door
Spilling out onto the floor
How long will I be picking up pieces
How long will I be picking up my heart
I be picking up my heart
I be picking up my heart
Picking up my heart
Picking up my heart
Picking up my heart
Picking up my heart
How long in another space and time)
Will I be picking up pieces in the corner of my mind
How long its getting oh so hard to find)
Keep picking up pieces in the corner of my mind
Come on oh
But I still walk on
