Pieces of Me

from adolescence by Scott Lemoine

	/

lyrics

If you don't ask
I'll never tell
And baby maybe
It's just as well
That you don't know how you helped me survive
As you gradually burned me alive

I need to forget you
But my heart won't let you
Be casually brushed to the side
And when I try to ignore it
It hurts even more
And I'm overcome every time

How many times over and over again
Could I fall thinking it's over and then
I give in
But this is the last time
I'm back for the pieces of me that I lost to the dark

I always knew that
Your love was on loan
Now the game's up
And I'm on my own
Searching for pieces of me hard to find
Now it's clear that what's mine isn't yours
And what's yours isn't mine

Oh no I won't keep pretending
You meant neverending
But that doesn't ease the goodbyes

How many times over and over again
Could I fall thinking it's over and then
I give in
But this is the last time
I'm back for the pieces of me that I lost to the dark

I need to forget you
But my heart won't let you
Be casually brushed to the side
And when I try to ignore it
It hurts even more
And I'm overcome every time

How many times over and over again
Could I fall thinking it's over and then
I give in
But this is the last time
I'm back for the pieces of me that I lost to the dark
