Blue October - Picking Up Pieces lyrics

rate me

<BR>

I really need to talk with you <br>

I keep stepping on the vein <br>

That keeps my lifeline flowing thru <br>

I wanna be your perfect stick of glue <br>

But I don't feel perfect at all <br>

Sad and insecure flaw <br>

<br>

I find it hard to hold conversation <br>

I get sweaty sick and I wanna walk away <br>

Its not you its strictly me in this situation <br>

I'm wondering will it ever go away...just go away <br>

<br>

Sometimes I feel like weeping <br>

Awake and when I'm sleeping <br>

Perfecting how to put a game face on <br>

<br>

This puzzle I've been keeping <br>

Has been in hiding creeping out the closet door <br>

Spilling out onto the floor <br>

<br>

How long will I be picking up pieces <br>

How long will I be picking up my heart <br>

<br>

I'll be as honest as I feel <br>

I'm getting more paranoid and I'm hearing things <br>

And they never turn out real <br>

It feels like my heart is made of pure steel <br>

It's just so heavy all the time <br>

<br>

Yea I'm scared of death <br>

And I'm scared of living <br>

I gave up on the past cause it's unforgiving <br>

I misplaced my trust <br>

<br>

I watched my word begin to rust <br>

I'm a balloon about to bust <br>

I need a place for reliving <br>

<br>

But sometimes I feel like weeping <br>

Awake and when I'm sleeping <br>

Perfecting how to put a game face on <br>

<br>

This puzzle I've been keeping <br>

Has been in hiding creeping out the closet door <br>

Spilling out onto the floor <br>

<br>

How long will I be picking up pieces <br>

How long will I be picking up my heart <br>

<br>

How long (in another space and time) <br>

Will I be picking up pieces in the corner of my mind <br>

How long (its getting oh so hard to find) <br>

Keep picking up pieces in the corner of my mind <br>

But I still walk on<br>

<BR><BR>
