Lyrics
PICKIN’ UP THE PIECES
written by: Kasey Rausch
I’m pickin’ up the pieces that you dropped
I’m pickin’ up the pieces of broken hearts
They’re scattered all around in every city, every town
They’re pavin’ the way for a lonesome sound
I guess I’ll never understand the way you had to go
But if I knew then what I know now I’d have known
That you’d never ever stop. You’d never quit.
You’d take that bottle with your very last grip
And so I’m pickin’ up the pieces that you dropped
I’m pickin’ up the pieces of broken hearts
They’re scattered all around in every city, every town
They’re pavin’ the way for a lonesome sound
But I do what I can. Give the love I have.
Though I’m left with the pain of you fallin’ down
I’ll take your baby in like you took me in
And I’ll pick up the pieces that you dropped
But I can’t pick them up from where you left off
Broken hearts all around in every city, every town
They’re pavin’ the way for a lonesome sound
I’m pickin’ up the pieces that you let drown
