Picking Up Pieces lyrics

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

But I'm wondering, will it ever go away?

Just go away, still

[Chorus:]

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 feel like I'm getting more paranoid

'Cause 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

I'm scared of death

I'm scared of living

Shit, 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

Still

[Chorus]

Be picking up my heart

Be picking up my heart

Be picking up my heart

Picking up my heart

Picking up my heart

Picking up my heart

Keep picking up my heart

How long, in another space and time

Keep picking up the pieces in the corner of my mind

How long, getting oh so hard to find

Keep picking up pieces in the corner of my mind

Come on

But I still walk on
