Somebody pick up my pieces,
I'm scattered everywhere,
And put me back together,
And put me way over there.
Take me out of contention,
I surrender my crown.
So somebody pick up my pieces,
It's just me comin' down.
Well, I sure thought I had her,
Lord, I know she had me.
What I thought was heaven
Is just falling debris .
Well, I may not be crazy,
But I got one hell of a start.
Somebody pick up my pieces,
I think I'm fallin' apart.
Don't follow my footsteps,
Step over my trail.
The road is too narrow
And your footing could fail.
And the fall to the bottom
Could tear you apart.
And they'll be pickin' up pieces
Of you and your heart.
